We want our students to develop as critically thinking, participatory, and independent citizens. We offer the option to study in shifts or in a day school concept. Starting in 2024, we will also offer bilingual education through English and Portuguese immersion (check available classes). We are an IB World School.
Academics at Escola Nova by SIS
Academics
We combine the Brazilian curriculum with the IB Diploma Programme, recognised worldwide, as well as with curricula developed by SIS in key areas (starting in 2024) to enrich learning with relevant and meaningful content and, at the same time, promote bilingualism.
Languages
Whichever path our students choose in the future, a recognised language certificate creates possibilities. At our school, where multilingualism is a core part of our educational concept, students have the opportunity to prepare – almost incidentally - for official language certificates in English and Spanish. We aim for them to achieve high levels of proficiency based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Throughout the school years, our students take the Cambridge exams. These qualifications attest to advanced language skills and are widely recognised in the academic and professional world.
Our students have the opportunity to prepare for the DELE (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera), an exam that certifies the level of competence in the Spanish language. It is granted by the Cervantes Institute on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.
