What we dislike about the school
- Younger students should consider that the average age of students at this school is significantly higher than at most other schools.

The city is one of the sunniest cities in the world and has over 50 kilometres of beaches!

Whether you are looking to tour the local islands, take some diving instruction or wish to learn about the local history through some walking tours, Instituto Cultural Idioma can assist you with all excursions and activities, ensuring a memorable and comfortable time during your trip.
Salvador is steeped in history, serving as an important port to Africa and Asia for the Portuguese colonies, the diverse art, cuisine and natural beauty, really emphasise the city's diversity.

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Very nice teachers, friendly reception.”
“The building is in a bad state of repair and during a thunderstorm it rained through the ceiling of the school room. Dark rooms, some without windows.
No structure to the lessons and poor course book. The reality does not match the pictures on the website. Everything is very run down and cannot be blamed solely on the pandemic”
