<p style="text-align: justify;">Our studies are based on research and inquiries, where the areas of knowledge are integrated, motivating our students to take action in our community and the world around them, and becoming life long learner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our students have lunch at school, two snacks and they two different moments for outside play. They start reading and writing in both English and Portuguese, finishing the process that was initiated in the final years of preschool.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The music classes happen once a week with a single subject teacher. We continue working with music elements, so our students are able to create music using their bodies, voice and instruments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They strive to create and follow complex musical patterns. Our students also learn how to notice and name different instruments, appreciating different music styles.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In Elementary School P.E. classes happen twice a week. Students learn to combine movement skills in order to play games and sports. Develop sportsmanship, complex motor skills and knowledge about strategies, rules and directions of a range of physical activities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We aim to deeper knowledge of health, human body (systems and anatomy), nutrition and benefits of regular participation in physical activities.</p>
