At Alesco, we recognise the crucial role parents play in their child’s educational journey.
We are dedicated to providing support and empowerment to parents through our advice and information services and our comprehensive range of coaching, training, workshops, and seminars.
Our services are designed to offer valuable insights, guidance, and strategies to help parents navigate various aspects of their child’s educational experience with confidence.
Advice and Information
Request a Video Consultation with one of our consultants for an advisory overview of the Portuguese educational landscape and the curricular options available for your child’s education.
We can guide you through the admissions processes; the Portuguese education system from preschool through secondary school at Independent, State and International Schools; the various curricula available including International Baccalaureate, Waldorf, and Montessori.
If you require support with a particular problem or advice on a specific topic, our Custom Advice and Guidance Service can help you to find the answers you are looking for. Just go ahead and ask!
School Visits and Research
We visit schools on your behalf if you are not currently in Portugal or unable to visit in person. We can also assist in organising and planning your appointments or accompany you to visit the schools of your choice.
If you have already found the perfect area of Portugal to live, we can conduct a full report on the local schools to help you to narrow down your options. Or if you have a few schools in mind, we can research additional information, from Special Educational Needs, to Inclusivity, to Extracurricular activities, to help make your decision easier.
Whatever the information you are looking for, our education experts can help.
Coaching and Workshops
We empower parents and children with the tools and knowledge to support educational success.
Our range of coaching, training, workshops, and seminars offer valuable insights and guidance. Prepare for school interviews, make the most of school visits, and navigate transitions smoothly. Join engaging workshops on topics such as effective academic support, understanding education systems and more.
We can customise sessions and provide a supportive community for you and your child to pave the way for their success.
Coaching
- School Interview or Visit Coaching
Our expert coaching prepares both parents and children to make a positive impression during admissions processes. We help parents to make the most out of school visits. Learn effective evaluation techniques, ask relevant questions, and make informed decisions about your child’s education. - Transition or Readjustment Support for Parent and/or Child
Smooth transitions during key educational milestones or relocations are crucial. Our transition support coaching offers guidance and strategies to help parents and children successfully adjust to new schools or educational stages.
Workshops/Seminars
Join our engaging workshops and seminars designed to equip parents with valuable knowledge and practical strategies.
Topics covered include effective communication with teachers, supporting your child’s academic progress, understanding educational systems, and more. These sessions provide opportunities to learn from experienced educators and connect with other parents.
Workshops and seminars will be advertised through our social media platforms, and custom sessions can be created for a minimum of five participants.
Educational Profiling and School Shortlisting
We get to know each child and family individually to provide a shortlist of which schools and curricula we believe will be most suitable.
We discuss every aspect of how your child’s school journey will impact your family life, from commute time to time spent on homework, from your international community to language integration.
We want to know your child’s strengths and their passions, their goals and how they unwind. We are committed to finding the best route to unlock your child’s potential.
Application and Registration
The admissions process can be complicated and daunting.
We can guide you through it or take care of it completely from beginning to end.
If you need advice surrounding the registration or help improving your profile, or someone to manage the whole process, we help you to take care of the administrative work however you may need supporting.
Additional Support Services
We understand a comprehensive support system is essential for a well-rounded education.
Through trusted partners, we connect you with childcare services, education providers, and language support. Our network includes reputable nannies, tutors, and language classes. We facilitate effective communication with interpretation and translation services and with property, real estate, visas, and relocation services.
Our goal is to create a holistic support network for our clients, ensuring a seamless and enriching educational journey.
