Escola Inglesa, Take off was founded in 1990 as a language school in S. João da Madeira: an industrial town near Oporto, in the North of Portugal. As a certified language school we are specialized in teaching English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese as a foreign language. Multiculturalism is a priority in our mission so education abroad (short or long term) is very important for us. Sending students abroad to well selected centres/schools has always been one of the highlights of our school policy.We are also a well recognized counselling centre in the education area all along Portugal. Because of globalization and the need to seek for different job opportunities we are now also involved in internship and job placement programs (inbound and outbound). A strict choice of our offers has been resulting in the recognition of the quality of the services we provide by our clients who have been testifying that over the 24 years we are in this market.
