School

Situated only a few minutes' walk away from the city centre and the beach, Diálogo, which has been in existence for 15 years, was the first international school to be set up in Salvador. It offers a wide variety of courses (in groups or on a one-to-one basis) for students from throughout the world. The teachers are all native to Brazil and dedicate a good 50% of the course to practising the spoken language with the students. The school is modern and very well-equipped. All of the classrooms have air-conditioning, there is an audiovisual centre, a kitchen for Bahian cooking classes, a sports field and free access to the Internet for all students.
