Register for Portuguese School for 2024/25

The Association seeks to promote and spread Portuguese culture and language in Bermuda. Registered as a charity (#385), the Association runs the Portuguese School of Bermuda. The School is open to children of all backgrounds.

Registration and Minimum Donation

Thanks to the generosity of anonymous donors who wish to support expanded access to Portuguese instruction, our minimum donation of $500 has been temporarily lowered for the year as follows:

If your student was registered with the Portuguese School for the 2023/24 academic year$250
If your student is a new registrant$300

Payment will need to be made by Friday, 27 September 2024 to confirm your child’s attendance. Alternatively, you can split payment into two, with the first installment of $150 by Friday, 27 September 2024, and the second by Friday, 10 January 2025.

Our donors have also set aside some additional funding for a bursary programme for the parents of children who cannot afford instruction. This is to help us abide by our legal requirements under the Charities Act 2014. Please ask us for more information.

Please pay by bank transfer to our Butterfield Account (Name: Portuguese School; Account number: 20006060707516100). We kindly ask that you enter as payment reference the name of your child(ren) and send us a copy of the payment confirmation to info@portugueseBDA.com.
