To Be Schools are Cambridge – Cambridge Educational Partners – certified entities, enjoying numerous benefits that cover the entire educational community and guarantee a setting of excellence in teaching and learning the English language.

Escola Azul is an educational program, from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, whose mission is to promote Ocean Literacy in the school community and create more responsible and participatory generations that contribute to the sustainability of the Ocean.
