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
TThanks to the continued generosity of anonymous donors who wish to support expanded access to Portuguese instruction, we can keep our minimum donation low.
We have decided to introduce a tiered system based on the date on which you register and pay fees. In addition, you can have a discounted fee if you register 2 or more children with the School. Finally, we have decided to introduce a “referral” rate to incentivize registration with the School. You and the parent you refer will each receive a discounted rate.
| Early bird (to 8 Aug) | Regular (to 19 Sept) | Late (from 20 Sept) | |
| Single Child Rate | $275 | $350 | $400 |
| Sibling Rate | $200 | $250 | $250 |
| Referral Rate | $200 | $250 | $250 |
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.
