The Caminhos Language Centre is the largest and most popular Portuguese language school in Rio de Janeiro. We offer high quality Portuguese courses whilst maintaining a friendly, relaxed and fun environment.
Our Brazilian teachers are carefully selected university graduates. Our methodology is based on the communicative approach and we pride ourselves on having unique course material. Our Ipanema language school is also famous for its support of underprivileged children in Brazil, and having our own on-site social programme, ‘Mais Caminhos’.
We help to develop people by connecting them in an international environment. We offer educational, cultural and fun activities to our clients - our language students - and to underprivileged Brazilian children and teenagers.
Students love studying with us because - besides learning Portuguese - they receive a complete Brazilian experience. It doesn't matter what age, culture or taste you have. With Caminhos there is something for everyone: sports, volunteer opportunities, music, dance, parties, food, drinks, art and nature. With all of our free activities and social projects Caminhos is the place to be to learn Portuguese, meet new people and experience Brazilian culture.
I had a 5 star experience at Caminhos. The location couldn’t be better - Ipanema, safe place, some blocks away from the beach. The teachers are fun and extremely competent. The school is constantly organizing social activities to integrate the students. The projects the school supports to help children in need were important for me to choose this school. An amazing cultural experience in one of the most beautiful cities in the world that I can only recommend.
Very friendly staff and teachers! They helped with planning a home stay for us in Rio with an amazing Brazilian lady who gave us the true Brazilian experience. They led many fun activities that we joined in on before and after our classes. Also helped us with planning the rest of our time in Brazil which was very helpful. Overall great experience and would definitely recommend!!
Caminhos is, by far, the best school in Rio! The academic program is excellent and every day they have different paid and free activities... even on the weekends! Nathalia Mazzini was my teacher and she is one of the best! I totally recommend this school!
I took classes at Caminhos Language centre when I first arrived in Rio and they really helped me to get an understanding of Portuguese. The school is in a great location near Ipanema beach and also organizes lots of social activities for students :)
