Olhar Poente Academia

No one left behind

Children and young people in an Academia study room.

In 2020, when schools closed, we saw many children falling behind. We opened the Academia as a space to help them catch up — and we have never looked back.

Today the Academia brings together the Study Centre, certified training and the Holiday Camps, all built on the same idea: learning can and should be a happy experience.
