Elementary I at Escola Cristã Genebra: Innovation and Excellence 📚✨

Entering the early years of Elementary Education is a crucial stage in every child's educational journey. At Escola Cristã Genebra, we recognize and value this importance by creating an environment that harmonizes tradition and innovation to offer a unique and transformative educational experience.

Classical Christian Education and Interacionist Cognitive Approach:

We combine the best of both worlds! The robustness of Classical Christian Education provides a solid foundation in values, ethics, and knowledge. The interacionist cognitive pedagogical approach encourages active knowledge construction, promoting meaningful interactions and encouraging students to be protagonists in their learning. With the Trivium as a guide, we add a series of exclusive materials to further enhance the renowned Mackenzie Teaching System model with over 150 years of educational tradition in Brazil.

Key Points That Make a Difference:

🌍 Trilingual Program: In addition to Portuguese, our students have the rich opportunity to learn English daily and French twice a week. This linguistic immersion is enhanced by our partnership with the renowned Aliança Francesa in Niterói and with Abeka for phonics training in English.

Swiss Model: Inspired by the Swiss educational model, which prioritizes experience over mere content, we adopt the Genebra-exclusive PBL (Problem-Based Learning) methodology. This student-centered method focuses on learning through solving real and relevant problems. Through PBL, we immerse our students in meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, foster critical thinking, and encourage collaboration. Each challenge faced and overcome becomes an unforgettable journey, where the learning process is as valuable as the knowledge gained.

🕐 Redefined Schedule: We believe that pace is essential for learning. With 40-minute classes and 30-minute breaks, we provide a balance between focus and rest, optimizing the absorption and retention of knowledge.

🔡 Phonics-Based Literacy: We use the phonics method for literacy, a proven approach that promotes a deeper understanding of written language.

✍️ Emphasis on Cursive Writing: From the first year, we encourage the use of cursive writing. This practice not only improves fine motor coordination but also benefits cognitive development and writing fluency.

🖥️ Technology and Monitoring: With the help of artificial intelligence, we monitor students' literacy levels, ensuring education adapted to their needs and potentials.

🧑‍🏫 Small Classes and Specialized Coordination: With classrooms containing up to 18 students, we ensure more focused attention for each student. Our specialized coordinations provide individualized oversight, ensuring that each student is seen, heard, and supported in their particularities.

At Escola Cristã Genebra, every detail is designed to provide an excellent education that shapes conscious, ethical citizens prepared for the challenges of the modern world. We invite your family to be part of this journey of discovery, learning, and growth. 🌱🌟
