Our Services
The Portuguese Learning Center of East Providence was established as non-profit organization in 2013. Before that, it was the Escola Portuguesa da Casa dos Açores de Nova Inglaterra.
Rhode Island is the state with the highest percentage of Portuguese population; as such, the ability to communicate in the Portuguese language is an asset to any citizen of this state and region.
At the Portuguese Learning Center, we strive to teach both Portuguese language and culture to children and adults alike. Our classes aim to be culturally and linguistic enriching and engaging.
