On the Island of Martha’s Vineyard, it is essential for both native and non-native English speakers to have access to essential services, as well as educational and professional resources, in languages other than English. This is especially imperative for the vast population of Brazilian-Portuguese community members looking to start, advance or continue studies in a variety of industries and fields.
Through a partnership with the CAP program and the MVALP, we are committed to providing access to education and professional development for our Island’s significant population of Portuguese-speaking learners wherever possible.
From Portuguese classes for English speakers, to interpreter and translating programs for bilingual students, to ESL classes for non-native English speakers, it is our goal to support language learners and students of all backgrounds and abilities.
