The Inside Track Intelligence Pack
Skip the 40-hour research phase. Get your child into the bilingual stream.
The Portal das Matrículas is 100% in Portuguese. Most expat parents miss the "Bilingual Preference" option buried in the sub-menus — and their child ends up in the standard Portuguese-only stream at the same school. This pack prevents that.

The Late-Window Strategy Guide

"The video walkthrough was exactly what we needed. The portal is genuinely confusing and we would have missed the bilingual preference option entirely."
"The placement letter worked. Our daughter is now in the PEBI stream at Almancil. I sent it in May and had confirmation within 10 days."
