The Kindergarten curriculum in the Brazilian Common Curriculum Framework is organised into five experience fields, for which learning and development objectives are defined. These fields are designed to reflect the concrete situations and experiences of children's daily lives, intertwining them with knowledge that forms part of the cultural heritage. The naming and definition of these fields relate to fundamental knowledge and what should be taught to children.
Elementary School is part of the foundation for subsequent stages of basic education. During this period, children develop academically, personally and socially. They learn to read and write, and learn mathematical and scientific principles, as well as the notions of space and time. They also develop other languages, such as aesthetics, music, technology, body language and spoken language, including German and English.
Middle School continues the organic and progressive set of essential learning experienced by students. This is where the progression of work aimed at developing general skills in our young people, including abstraction and cognitive flexibility, begins. This process, combined with the deepening of the work done with the socioemotional skills of self-knowledge, self-care, an empathetic look at diversity, flexibility and resilience, guided by the development of a systemic view, integrates the content worked on in Middle School.
High School is the conclusive stage of Basic Education, as the students refine and deepen their knowledge and begin to outline their future from choices in their favorite areas. Besides a General Education, which is the same for all students, High School also allows one to follow the Educational Pathways. They are the flexible part of the curriculum, in which students make choices according to their interests and goals, link educational experiences with their contemporary reality and develop new competences based on the following pillars: Scientific Investigation, Creative Processes, Sociocultural Mediation and Intervention, and Entrepreneurship.
Upon choosing an Educational Pathway, students have the opportunity to prepare a thematic project, which will lead to studies and researches by considering global perspectives and deploying technology resources. In each project, they will be assisted not only by their teachers, but also by national and international companies or universities in order to present their ideas in an innovative way. Optionally, the students can have an international experience to go to the bottom of their research topic. The project is finished with the Educational Pathways Exhibition, with presentations in different languages including research and innovation proposals as well as economically, socially and environmentally relevant projects.
