How to enroll children after immigrating to Portugal?

So today, Bian Xiao will tell you about the precautions for children to go to school in Portugal.

These schools charge fees according to family income. Family per capita income is lower than the national standard, all free. Due to the limitation of places, public kindergartens generally do not accept children from high-income families.

Private kindergartens charge 300-600 euros a month. Its advantage is that students go to school for 2-3 hours longer than public schools (school time: 7:00-20:00), and there is a special car to pick up children. Private kindergartens are a better choice for double-income families with better economic conditions.

Some families send their children to private primary schools and public secondary schools. This is mainly not to consider the quality of teaching, but to save time and worry.

Among private schools, there is a special kind of schools, namely, various language schools: English schools run by Americans and British, German schools run by Germans and French respectively, and so on. This kind of international school teaching is synchronized with Portuguese-speaking schools, which is conducive to the cultivation of children's foreign language ability.

If economic conditions permit, this is also one of the better choices. However, the monthly fee of such schools ranges from 600- 1200 euros, which is twice that of Portuguese-speaking private schools at the same level. Generally speaking, the educational level of private schools is better than that of public schools. However, there are also many public schools whose teaching quality is not inferior to that of private schools.
