Escola Amadeu Correia
The Amadeu Correia School was founded on December 7, 1935, under the name Escola 1º de Dezembro. This designation was later changed to Amadeu Correia School, in honor of one of its promoters and co-founders. It is the oldest Portuguese school in the state of New Jersey.
A group of duly accredited teachers teaches grades 1 through 9. At the end of each school year, diplomas recognized by the Camões Institute and by the Portuguese Consulate are awarded to students who successfully complete their respective grade levels. Each year, the Amadeu Correia Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to the three best students in the 6th and 9th grades. These scholarships are based on student merit, taking into account academic achievement at the Portuguese school. For more information regarding the scholarship fund please follow the link below
