We are a cognitive-interactionist school and understand that our methodology is based on a reformed Christian worldview and finds academic sustainability through partnerships with traditional educational institutions (Mackenzie, Abeka, Maison des Langues). Another key element of our method is project-based learning, inspired by the Swiss educational vision to provide memorable moments and experiences, making learning interactive, meaningful, and relevant to the student’s development. We combine this with the principles of classical Christian education, applying methods and techniques of proven effectiveness over the centuries to ensure a solid ethical and moral formation for the student body. Finally, we do everything Coram Deo, meaning that all our didactic and pedagogical practices are carried out as a way to worship God and glorify Him in the exercise of our vocation.

Trilingual
Program
We understand Portuguese as the official language of our school, and therefore it is our primary focus for the linguistic development of our children. From our Garderie (nursery), we begin work on phonological awareness.
Entendemos o português como língua oficial de nossa escola e por isso é nosso foco principal para um bom desenvolvimento linguístico de nossas crianças. Desde nossa Garderie (berçário) já iniciamos o trabalho de conscientização fonológica.​
We work on literacy using the phonics method, and to provide even closer attention, we have a literacy coordination team that supports students from ages 4 to 6 to manage the transition from Early Childhood Education to Elementary School.
In both Elementary School (Fundamental I and II), the encouragement of good literature and the practice of cursive writing become more prominent as the student progresses until reaching High School, where we prepare them for the Portuguese language exams at universities. Starting from the 6th grade, we introduce classical philosophy classes to develop the students' logical, rhetorical, and dialectical skills.
Our approach in Early Childhood Education is to provide playful experiences for an initial contact with the French language.
In Elementary School (Fundamental I), we start with a French book focused on the communicative method to ensure that children can develop in the language in a structured manner. In Fundamental II, we work to prepare students for the DELF certification exam in the 9th grade. The classes are held twice a week.

Intercultural Curriculum &
International Partnerships
Annually, we hold a contest where 2 students win an all-expenses-paid trip to Switzerland (including airfare, accommodation, and activities). More than just a trip, the goal is to facilitate an exchange with our partner school. In addition to Geneva, we visit other Swiss cities and spend a day in the French town of Montblanc.
To participate, students must read the entire Bible in 365 days according to the Chronological Reading Plan. As a tiebreaker, we consider the highest GPA (average of all grades). Students are disqualified if they have a grade below 8.0 in French or if they have received any warnings.
Starting from the 6th grade, parents can separately arrange this exchange and send their children as well. For more information, please contact the school office.

We are partners with the only Protestant Christian school in the Swiss city of Geneva. In addition to academic cooperation benefits, our students have the opportunity to be received as exchange students for short periods or even transfer to complete their high school education there if they wish.
We support the Brazilian Education Fair in Geneva in partnership with the International Network for Protected Childhood and have connections with public agencies, local churches, and organizations that bring us closer to Switzerland and help us bring a bit of Brazil to Geneva.

A 3-month course for students and non-students aimed at introducing Apologetics, the defense of faith through reason, and preparing this next generation to give the world a reason for our faith as Peter instructs in his letter (1 Peter 3:15)
Exclusive Geneva Arts Material:
...
We use an exclusive Geneva arts educational material based on the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) methodology, which utilizes the themes of the projects carried out in the classroom. This approach provides a meaningful and stimulating learning experience for children, allowing them to explore creativity, expression, and critical thinking. The PBL methodology, recognized worldwide for its effective results, is a dynamic and interactive way of teaching, where students are encouraged to develop skills and competencies through problem-solving and investigating real and relevant topics. By applying this approach to the arts discipline, we aim to further enhance children's learning potential and encourage their active participation in the process.
