Can “older” students, who are not proficient in English or Portuguese, enter the Pan American School?
Yes. For students who are above the 1st grade level and are not proficient in Portuguese, the Pan American School offers a Portuguese as Foreign Language course (PFL). Depending on the student’s Portuguese level, it may consist of an intensive or semi-intensive course, and can last from one to three semesters before the student is placed full time in his / her grade level. The same program also exists for students who are not proficient in English (ESL).
