As ELL-CV celebrates its 11th anniversary, Bridgewater State University (BSU) and the Pedro Pires Institute for Cape Verdean Studies are proud to have been part of the School’s journey and growth as partners from the very beginning.

We celebrate this important milestone with pride and extend our heartfelt congratulations to Professor Zita Vieira, a proud BSU Bear, and the entire team of teachers and staff whose dedication and commitment have made ELL-CV the success it is today.

We wish ELL-CV continued growth and success and reaffirm our unwavering, ongoing support for its mission and future.

Congratulations on 11 years of impact, growth, and achievement!

11 Years of Learning, Values, and Growth!

Founded on October 5, 2015, the English Language Learners Center of Cabo Verde (ELLCV) has grown from one classroom of 15 students into a vibrant community of 500 learners.

Our journey is built on a unique educational vision: combining English language learning with the development of core human values. Through our founder’s distinctive curriculum, students learn not only to communicate confidently in English but also to practice Respect, Empathy, Cooperation, Friendship, Positive Thinking, Persistence, and Achievement.

Our House system builds belonging, motivation, and healthy competition, encouraging students to grow, overcome challenges, and progress through their learning journey.

As we celebrate 11 years, we honor every student, teacher, and family who has contributed to our story.

Our mission remains the same: to teach English, nurture values, inspire achievement, and empower a generation to make a positive difference in the world.

Growing in Language, United by Values, Inspired to Achieve!
