Are there public schools that teach in Portuguese for primary children?

The municipal education department runs several public primary schools where instruction is in Portuguese and follows the national curriculum. Enrollment is generally open to residents, and you will need to provide proof of residence, birth certificates and vaccination records. Classes are organized by age groups, and the schools often have programs to help children from non‑Portuguese‑speaking families adapt, including basic language support. For specific enrollment dates and required documentation, check the city’s education portal or contact the district office directly. Private schools are also present, offering bilingual options, but they charge tuition.
