Escola Viva

The school's pedagogical proposal is grounded in democratic values, participation, and the construction of identity, respecting both individual and collective rights. It utilizes multiple languages to foster non-conventional forms of expression and learning, aiming to prepare students for a globalized world through an integral educational journey.

Escola Viva is an IB World School offering the IB Diploma Programme (IB DP) for high school students. The curriculum includes core IB subjects such as Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), and Creativity, Action, Service (CAS), alongside subjects like Mathematics, Biology, Spanish, Portuguese Language and Literature, English, and Business Management. The school serves students from early childhood (ages 1-6) through elementary and high school.

The school aims to form students with the competence and sensitivity to manage their own learning paths. It focuses on developing critical thinking, creativity, and the ability to apply knowledge to understand the world, while fostering a sense of responsibility toward the collective and the common good.

The school values diversity and inclusion as pillars of its educational approach. It promotes a community-based education where the school-family partnership is central to the development of students' personal, social, and ecological consciousness.

The school emphasizes the importance of a mutual relationship of trust and alignment with its values between the institution and families. Prospective families are invited to schedule a preliminary conversation with the admissions team through the school's website.

The school operates across multiple locations in the Vila Olímpia neighborhood of São Paulo. These include facilities for early childhood education (ages 1 to 6), elementary education (1st to 9th grade), and high school (1st to 3rd series). The campus environment integrates various spaces designed to support the school's pedagogical proposal.

The school offers complementary activities, such as tapestry, which is designed to develop concentration, precision, and a connection to cultural traditions. The broader school life includes social projects, theater groups, collective gardens, and sports championships, which serve as a counterpoint to the digital world.
