What families say

In the words of our families

Words from those who trust us with their children. All published with the permission of whoever wrote them.

Do you know how I know Mariana likes school? On Friday, at bedtime, she says: “Mum, I'm going to sleep because I've got school tomorrow!”, and I reply: “There's no school tomorrow, love. It's the weekend.” And she says: “No school? Oh…” She gets sad and can't wait for Monday. This has been happening for a while now. To me, it shows the good, excellent relationship the teachers and the school have with their pupils. We couldn't be happier with Colégio O Brinquinho. You are, without a doubt, an extremely welcoming place that children love! And simply having so many kinds of animals at the school helps enormously. Mariana loves it and so do we! Thank you for your effort and dedication. I will always recommend your School.

Thank you, Brinquinho! For everything you have done for my children, who are now in Primary School. It is well worth getting them up at 7 a.m. to travel about 20 km to the School. Because this is where the future is drawn!

Paulo MikasFather of Primary School pupils

A school that stands out. I see my son progressing every day and growing as a person. Definitely the right choice: we always want the best for our children, and O Brinquinho has truly paid off. I recommend it.

Rita AlvesMother of a Kindergarten pupil

Thank you, Brinquinho, for carrying on my children's education so well. I'm sorry they can't stay on for Years 5 and 6. Keep giving our little ones lots of smiles and happy moments!

Maria FerreiraMother

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. Top staff, top teaching, top parent–school relationship. I cry just thinking that my daughter can only stay until Year 4, but I know she has been somewhere fantastic that will open many doors for her whole life. Congratulations!

We are a Belgian family who stayed for 3 years in Foz do Arelho. Our kids went to Colégio O Brinquinho for 3 years. They were well accepted in the school and the teachers were very nice and helpful, taking their time to teach them the Portuguese language. The kids loved going to school and enjoyed the classes and extra activities. Highly recommended.
