PARTNERSHIPS academic

Escola Concept has an exclusive partnership with the Institute for the Habits of Mind. It is the only school in Latin America certified as a center of excellence. Habits of Mind are part of the school’s foundational pillars to support social emotional learning and development.

A certification that recognizes our schools for the relevant use of technology to potencialize teaching and learning opportunities and to highlight the visionary leadership that exists to support these practices.

Started by IVY League Universities and pioneered by Harvard, the Mastery Transcript Consortium is a prestigious award-winning high school transcript which gives students the opportunity to showcase who they are for colleges and universities through a portfolio of accomplishments versus a simple document which only shows their grades. Only 3 schools in Brazil offer this exclusive path for learners to get to their college of choice.

A diploma program from the College Board based on two yearlong AP courses: AP Seminar and AP Research. Rather than teaching subject-specific content, these courses develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world.

Escola Concept is the only exclusive partner for d.tech high, the most innovative high school in the world located on the Oracle campus in the Silicon Valley. Learners can graduate high school with the Innovation Diploma offered by d.tech to Escola Concept. The Diploma is a 4 year commitment of developing a real project of impact that will positively affect the life of the population outside the school.

TED-Ed is TED’s youth and education initiative. TED-Ed’s mission is to spark and celebrate the ideas of teachers and learners around the world. Through the use of the TED curriculum, the goal at Escola Concept is for learners to gain presentation literacy skills while celebrating innovative leadership within TED-Ed’s global network.

Offers Escola Concept an internationally recognized curriculum for Early Years to Middle School. Fieldwork Education works with more than 1,000 schools worldwide, but in Brazil, only 30 schools offer it.

Facilitated by a consortium of 8 like-minded international schools, the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD) provides a framework for students to actively take small steps leading to a better future. Through intentional reflection, students develop a deeper understanding of who they are and what they value by capturing their individual stories and celebrating their growth. By identifying their passions, each student who earns the GCD becomes more inclined to act in an ethical and responsible way as a global citizen.

Providence Country Day (PCD) is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the east coast of the United States. It is known for its high admissions rate to IVY League schools in addition to competitive colleges and universities. Learners have the option of participating in the PCD Global Academy to receive an American High School Diploma.

The AP International Diploma (APID) is a globally recognized certificate awarded to students who display exceptional achievement across a variety of disciplines. Learners don't need to apply for the Diploma; it's automatically awarded in the year all eligibility requirements are met.

Escola Concept believes MAP Growth is a significant assessment opportunity to collect data to inform our teaching and learning processes while allowing us to observe and document student growth and development. Nwea Map Test is part of our commitment to academic rigor. The Map Test provides a unique and personalized test for each student.

The United Nations Global Compact (UN Global Compact) is a special initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General dedicated to sustainability. The Global Compact is based on Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labor practices, environmental protection and anti-corruption and promotes their integration in the strategy and operations of each company. The UN Global Compact has also the responsibility of contributing to the achievement of the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda.
