Faust Language School Closes Its Doors After 28 Years
Monday, 22 June 2026 -
Dear students, parents, and friends of Faust Language School,
After nearly 28 years of dedication to language teaching, we have made the difficult decision to close Faust Language School at the end of this academic year, on 30 June 2026.
Words cannot fully express our gratitude for the trust you have placed in us over nearly three decades. It has been a journey filled with milestones, shared successes, and wonderful memories. Every single student brought life and meaning to our school, and you will all remain in our hearts.
To ensure a smooth transition, we have outlined all the essential practical information regarding the final weeks of classes, certificates, continuing your studies, and our farewell event below.
1. Final Information on Courses and Certificates
-
Attendance Certificates: Certificates will be issued at the end of the course to all students who achieved a minimum attendance of 90%.
-
Exams or Statements: If your attendance was below 90%, please let us know as soon as possible whether you wish to register for the exam (taking place on 1, 2, and 3 July) or if you would prefer to receive a statement of hours attended.
-
Post-Closure Contact: For any queries after 1 July, please contact us at our alternative email address: faust.lda@gmail.com.
2. Translation Services Remain Available
Our translation services (both standard and certified) into Portuguese will remain fully active in the future. If you require assistance with translations, please contact Elsa directly at: elsaarnedo@gmail.com.
3. School Clearance Sale & Final Farewell
On 4 July, we will be holding a final clearance sale at our school premises. We invite our entire community to visit us. This will be an excellent opportunity to purchase coursebooks, literature, or household appliances, and to say a personal goodbye. We would love to see you there!
