ICI is open year-round. We only close for national and regional holidays. New groups are put together every Monday.
We offer group courses, individual courses, and preparatory courses to take the CELPE-Bras. We also offer pronunciation workshops and special classes on Brazilian culture.
Each session lasts 50 minutes. The group classes are arranged in 4 sessions, from Monday to Friday. Individual courses can be arranged for 2 (two), 4 (four) or 6 (six) sessions per day. In addition, we also offer a package of “light” courses that offer greater scheduling flexibility – the student can choose, depending on course availability, which days and times they would like to take classes.
