Escola Secundária Luso-Chinesa de Luís Gonzaga Gomes (ESLCLGG Chinese: 高美士中葡中學) is a public multilingual secondary school in São Lázaro (Saint Lazarus Parish), Macau.[1] Named after Luís Gonzaga Gomes, it was established in 1985.[2]

The school is divided into Chinese and Portuguese section.

Curriculum

ESLC is a Cantonese-medium school, and the Macau government uses ESLC to test adjustments to the Macau secondary school curriculum. While most Macau private schools have English classes as the primary foreign language instruction, ESLC instead has Portuguese as its main foreign language. Circa the 1990s/2000s on a weekly basis each student takes six hours of Portuguese classes. It was the school in which a class on Macau history was introduced. In previous eras the school used curriculum and materials from Hong Kong as equivalent Macau-oriented products were not made at that time.[3]

Student body

70% of the students are Chinese and the remaining 30% are Filipinos and other nationalties. Circa the 1990s/2000s it had a higher percentage recent immigrants from Mainland China and low income students compared to other Macau schools.[3]

Academic performance

Circa the 1990s/2000s about 50 percent of the students who graduated matriculated to post-secondary educational institutions.[3]
