Escola Nova by SIS
Escola Nova by SIS is a welcoming school that individually supports the progress of each student, from kindergarten through to college.
We believe in continuous improvement of skills and competencies, as well as in cognitive, social and emotional development. Our students are the protagonists of their own learning processes, taking pleasure in learning, achieving autonomy and respecting the diversities of a globalised world.
During college, in addition to the preparation for the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) and national university entrance exams, students have the opportunity to obtain the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Diploma), accepted by universities worldwide. We raise citizens capable of positively engaging in a world of diversity and constant transformation.

What Defines Us
We live a consistent, but by no means uniform, culture of education – on two continents, in four countries and in 19 locations. But every concept is only as good as its implementation in everyday school life. That is why we make it our highest priority to live by it on a daily basis. Our students and their learning needs are at the heart of our efforts. This is put into practice by taking into account the following eight aspects:
Student Life
Our curriculum is supplemented with a variety of opportunities beyond classroom instruction that enrich learning experiences. This includes lunchtime, homework supervision, intercountry activities, and signature school events as well as exciting after-school activities.
SIS Community
"My experience at the SIS Cup was really great. Right from the beginning, I felt at home since I was with my friends. I made new friendships quickly and had an easy time communicating in English with everyone. The school over there is really good! We stayed there for a day, and it was fun! We visited Hercules Castle, and I loved it even though I was quite tired. The medal ceremony was a joy! I missed rice and beans, but everything was totally worth it!"
"The biggest challenge after school was coming face to face with the numerous paths I could take, and Escola Nova prepared me to tackle the obstacles that could arise with them."
"Right from the start, we felt that the school cared about each student individually. There's clearly a balance between teaching and fun, with their welcoming staff and dedicated teachers. We are sure that choosing Escola Nova was and will always be a decision to be proud of."
