The Culture, the Language, and Portuguese History taught from kindergarten to adult free class. Take a look at our activities every week on Facebook! Gil Vicente Portuguese School was founded in September of 1971 with a group of about ten students. In recent years the interest in learning the Portuguese language has begun increasing once again. Students and the community at large are beginning to become more aware of the importance of a second language, not only for family relationships but for professional advantages as well. We have students enrolled at PreK1, PreK2, Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6, Portuguese 15, 25 and 35, credit courses approved by Alberta Education and serving as prerequisites for University level courses. Since 2009, we also provide Portuguese open classes for Adults.
