Primary Years
First steps toward autonomy, guided by purpose and curiosity.
GIS Elementary School promotes the academic, personal, and social development of students in a bilingual, welcoming, and intellectually challenging environment, within a multicultural context.
Our approach balances the rigor of the international curriculum with active listening and respect for each student’s individual learning pace.
Holistic Education with a Global Vision
Academic Rigor with Purpose
Reading, writing, math, and science gain meaning through projects connected to real-life experiences and students' natural curiosity.
Classes in both Portuguese and English allow students to expand their vocabulary, thinking, and expression in two languages, fluidly and naturally.
Language as a Medium for Learning
Interdisciplinary Projects and Inquiry
Learning emerges from meaningful questions and is structured around inquiry, collaboration, and documentation.
Bond with Educators
Trusting relationships and active listening between students and teachers foster a safe space for academic and social challenges.
Development of Autonomy and Responsibility
Over the years, students take on an increasingly active role in their learning process, developing habits of organization and reflection.
