Escola Nova

Escola Nova is one of the references in quality education in Rio de Janeiro. From early childhood education to high school, since 1980, we have promoted lifelong learning by bringing content and stimulus to creativity, critical thinking and global education. A Escola Nova by SIS Swiss International School. Currently more than 5.000 students from both local and internationally mobile families attend classes at one of the 17 SIS schools in Switzerland, Germany and Brazil. SIS is a company of the Kalaidos Swiss Education Group which belongs to the Klett Group Germany. SIS schools in Brazil are recognised by the local educational authorities and are a firm fixture in the Brazilian school landscape.

We believe that the student is an active agent in the teaching-learning process through curiosity, communication and collaboration. Our aim is to instruct a citizen who is critical, participative, creative and independent, capable of respecting differences and adapting to everyday situations.

Our mission is to provide excellence in education by giving individual attention to our students in a welcoming environment where the challenge of discovering coexists with the pleasure of learning.

We aim to develop inquirer, knowledgeable and supportive students who contribute to a better world through understanding and respect. We seek to form global citizens who are prepared to positively impact the world around them.

Escola Nova encourages its students to become active, upright, curious, creative and critical learners. The values transmitted in the school will be part of each student throughout life, preparing them to respect differences and deal with different points of view.
