Extracurricular activity

Mandarin for children

An introduction to the Chinese language and culture, with practical, age-appropriate classes – learning with curiosity and consistency, in a fun, practical and effective way.

What is covered in the classes

In these classes, the focus is on communication from the very beginning: listening, repeating, recognising sounds and words, and gaining confidence to say simple sentences. Learning takes place through playful activities – games, visual cards, music and small routines – so that children associate the language with positive and consistent experiences.

Why learn Mandarin

Learning a different language broadens curiosity and opens the door to other cultures. It also helps develop attention, memory and perseverance – skills that are useful in every area of learning. Above all, the goal is to build a natural relationship with the language: learning step by step, without pressure and with enjoyment.

Other activities

Judo

O judo desenvolve coordenação motora, autocontrolo e confiança. Através de regras claras e progressão gradual, as crianças aprendem a cooperar, a respeitar o outro e a lidar com desafios com serenidade.

Guitarra

Mais do que aprender um instrumento, a guitarra trabalha ritmo, escuta e persistência. A criança ganha confiança ao ver progresso real, aula após aula, e descobre uma forma de expressão que leva consigo.

Ballet for children

Ballet promotes posture, balance and body awareness. At the same time, it stimulates discipline, musicality and artistic expression in a positive environment suitable for different ages.
