About us - escola CONCEPT

Welcome to Escola Concept

Our school is a dynamic and vibrant community where learning is all about unleashing the power of 21st-Century kids. Through Project-Based Learning and other active methodologies, Escola Concept stimulates learners to be curious individuals, seeking real-life world challenges to solve.

Our motto is to nurture confidence in each child to be a doer, a cutting-edge thinker and to have a growth mindset: it means to take responsible risks and to accept failure as part of the process.

Escola Concept wants to instill the love of learning and the joy of life into our children's lives!

How do we do it? By having inspiring educators, who are engaged in a continuous program of Professional Development, and plan classes in collaboration.

Created by Grupo SEB after a long study that involved trips all around the globe, Escola Concept counts with a NETWORK OF EDUCATORS linked to prestigious institutions like Apple, Harvard School of Education, the Government of Finland and the New Zealand Institute for the Habits of Mind.

We are happy to have you here and would like to invite you to learn more about Escola Concept by TAKING A TOUR OF OUR SCHOOLS. There you will be able to observe learning being celebrated as a special occasion every day!

Join us on this journey!

The multi-destination trip inspired us to bring together the most talented group of educational leaders, inspirational educators, and dynamic professionals to welcome your children to a contextualized multidisciplinary learning environment where ideas are translated into outcomes to develop action-oriented projects that will impact our interconnected global society.

Inspiration

The inspiration for such a transformative school started with a plethora of school visits to educational institutions worldwide. Seattle, Los Angeles, Lugano, Helsinki, and Singapore, were some of the locations visited to inspire change in the Brazilian education system.

Each location highlighted a specific aspect of education and what it represented within the context of developing lifelong learners.

Helsinki

The Head of Education Development Services spoke to us about the importance of cross-disciplinary thinking and of developing problem-solving networks. Rethinking the education system to align with the needs of society is fundamental in today's world. Teaching in a system where the teacher had the key to all the knowledge no longer works in today's world, where access to information is at everyone's disposal. Learners have to have their individual opportunities to learn, which are to be catered to their needs depending on where they are in their developmental processes.

Seattle

This visit to Islandwood in Washington State brought awareness to flexible learning spaces with a focus on community partnerships and active engagement with the environment. When this visit was translated to Escola Concept’s academic strategic plan, it integrated the entirety of our three campuses to our immediate and surrounding community and to the proposed curricular projects.

Los Angeles

The Muse school brought the inspiration of what is meant by integrated learning. The initial stage of the process of project-based learning develops from curiosities and big understandings. The combination of content areas forms an interconnected web of competencies where the areas of arts, humanities, languages, math, and science come together to develop an interconnected relationship among content, knowledge, and skills.

Lugano/Geneva

TASIS and College du Leman combined the idea of having highly committed and talented educators focused on student learning up to the process of developing educators fit to make the most informed decisions to support learners. The focus is on developing multiple pathways for learners to achieve deeper levels of understanding.

Singapore

Developing learners to confront uncertainties and adapt to changes was the essence of what we learned during the visit to multiple schools in Singapore. The philosophy of learning through play to develop autonomy, social-emotional well-being, confidence, authentic learning experiences, and creative thinkers supported Concept as it developed its academic philosophy.
