About the school and city

IH Braga is approaching its 40th anniversary and over the years we have become part of the local community, teaching students from the age of 6 to 86 and different generations from the same family! We teach approximately 750 students in our school and in a local private school, with Young Learners and Teens making up 75% of our students. Our school has a reputation for being a friendly and welcoming place for students and staff alike, and this is reflected in the number of students who stay with us from Kids to Cambridge Exam levels. 

We are located in two buildings, a town house and a modern building, right in the heart of the city within 5 or 10 minutes’ walk of a range of lively cafés, restaurants and all local amenities.
