OVERVIEW OF GRADE LEVELS
We are a Toddlers to Grade 12 school that serves four distinct divisions. Each division in our school has unique characteristics that range from learning engines to specific programs to bring excellence in academic rigor and innovation. We call it learning engines.
WE ARE EXPLORERS EARLY YEARS
In the Early Years program, children from Toddlers 1 to Kinder (ages 1 to 6) are true explorers. This stage is deeply rooted in investigative thinking and tinkering, where every day is a journey of inquiry. Learners engage with various stations that fuel their curiosity and encourage intentional play.
Educators, predominantly communicating in English, focus on active listening to channel the learners' inquisitiveness into engaging and challenging activities. It's a world where multi-sensory experiences, deep connections with nature, and a personalized learning approach are documented and celebrated as part of the educational journey.
E N G I N E S
learning
LOWER SCHOOL
WE ARE RESEARCHERS
Lower School, from Grades 1 to 5, is when children become researchers. The project delivery is inspired by Phenomenon-Based Learning, which encourages learners to delve into the wonders of the world around them.
This approach fosters a deep sense of curiosity and the skills to seek answers, promoting a hands-on and minds-on learning experience that prepares young minds for the complex questions of tomorrow.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
WE ARE DESIGNERS
Middle School learners from Grades 6 to 8 are designers who employ Design Thinking in their learning process.
At this stage, education is beyond the processing and understanding of information it's about applying creative problem-solving skills to realworld challenges. Learners are taught to think critically and work collaboratively to design solutions, preparing them to make a meaningful impact on their world.
The approach to learning includes Challenge Based Learning as the basis for the project development.
G I N E S
learning
HIGH SCHOOL
WE ARE GLOBAL CITIZENS
High School at Escola Concept, from Grades 9 to 12, is dedicated to shaping innovative global citizens. The program is driven by Human-Centered Design, where learners are inspired to develop solutions that meet human needs.
As global citizens, they are equipped with the mindset and tools to approach problems with empathy and to devise innovative strategies that have the potential to create positive change in the global community.
The emphasis on innovation and human-centric solutions prepares learners to lead with compassion and ingenuity in a rapidly evolving world. The approach to learning includes Challenge Based Learning as the basis for the project development.

SCHOOL EXCLUSION POLICY
If the child has a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, he will be sent home. Learners must have no fever and/or symptoms for 24 hours before returning to school without using fever-reducing or other medications.
For a learner to be absent for health reasons from any part of the curriculum, including Body & Movement (Physical Education), a doctor's written request must be submitted.
HEALTH SCREENINGS
We suggest routine sight and hearing screenings for learners from Pre-K4 and up. These screenings have the purpose of identifying possible health conditions (such as myopia and hearing loss) that might affect learning.
O L I C I E S
health
SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Personalized Emergency Procedures: Our nurse and staff establish individualized emergency procedures for learners with specific medical conditions, such as allergies, asthma, and diabetes, based on guidance from healthcare professionals and parents/guardians.
FOOD ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCE
If the child has been diagnosed with an allergy or intolerance to any food or substance, we ask that you inform us through the Medical Report Form so we are able to communicate with the meal services supplier can make the necessary substitutions.
We offer modified meals only for children with a medical report. In case of subsequent changes, we ask the parents to notify us.
EACH CHILD ON CAMPUS IS INSURED
When children are taken to the hospital, medical bills are billed to the family's insurance company. It is important that families have their children insured.
