Finding Muchness by Kobi
2026 Theme of the Year
Our mission Escola Concept
offers an academically rigorous, challenging, inclusive, global education designed to develop happy and thoughtful human beings who positively impact the world we live in. The school's program is designed to nurture the dispositions of lifelong learners who collaborate to co-create, embrace an entrepreneurial mindset, understand the meaning of living sustainably, and are globally and digitally fluent. Learners apply habits of mind to their daily actions, use the language of thinking to communicate, and understand the elements of design thinking to problem solve and innovate. Learning is facilitated and assessed through relevant, project-based experiences. Upon graduation, learners will be prepared for their university of choice in Brazil, or elsewhere around the world.
