Pedagogical Structure
The school fosters the integral formation of the student. The student is led to develop in cognitive, emotional and manual areas. These areas are based on the thoughts of the Swiss educator Heinrich Pestalozzi:
“The student is stimulated to learn with head, heart and hands.”
In 2007 the school introduced the system of 9 years of Ensino Fundamental.(lei federal 11.274/2006, resolução nº 03, de 03/08/05, da CNEB e Deliberação nº 03/06 – CEE).
In 2008, High School was extended from 3 to 4 years.

The construction also includes the restaurant in an environment fully equipped to serve meals to all students and employees.

Three dedicated rooms are used for music and arts and crafts. The Crafts room is appropriately equipped and attended by a specialized teacher.
Sports Gymnasium
The Sports Gymnasium measures 1,200 square meters and is used for various physical, sporting and cultural activities. It was constructed with the help of the Aargau Canton and specially decorated with a ceramic panel created by the artist Jorge Cardoso Pagano, representing the union between Brazilian and world cultures.
Salle Jean Piaget
