Following the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base, Porto develops actions in each area of ??knowledge, guaranteeing the essential learning of basic concepts of the subjects through immersion in the universe of each area. Whether in Human Sciences or Natural Sciences, in Languages ??or Mathematics, these fundamental concepts allow students to expand and understand the place they occupy in the world, in addition to promoting the development of autonomy for studies, as well as the ability to think and solve today’s world problems.
From Kindergarten to High School, the school encourages and provides closer contact with different world cultures, promoting opportunities for the exchange of ideas, studies and values between our students and communities from different continents to build a sense of global citizenship. Intercultural education has always been part of Porto's DNA, a Brazilian school with German roots that opened up to the whole world by encouraging dialogue and learning through global connections.
The broader understanding of sustainability involves the dimensions of self-care and the preservation of life, economy and ecology. Living sustainably means guiding our actions so that the relationships between us, the other and the world are healthy and lasting, in order to preserve life on the planet. These perspectives are addressed throughout the entire educational process at the School in various areas, from Financial Mathematics to Human and Natural Sciences, from lessons that involve taking care of oneself (body, mind and emotions) for a better and happier life through to the development of awareness for the responsible use of economic and natural resources.
Socioemotional competence is developed with students so that they learn to deal with themselves and their emotions, as well as relating to others in a competent and ethical manner. The school offers a safe and welcoming environment, which motivates the student to seek good academic performance and a pro-health and pro-citizenship attitude. Educational advisors accompany our students all the way to promote self-knowledge, social awareness, acknowledgment of feelings experienced by other people, perception and control of their own emotions, resilience and the desire to overcome, as well as social relationships based on respect and cooperation.
Digital Education encompasses digital literacy, programming language and maker culture, concepts addressed through studies, research and practices, which, in addition to technical learning, cover citizenship, digital security, prevention of cyberbullying and awareness of the environmental challenges related to electronic waste. Colégio Visconde de Porto Seguro is constantly updating itself in the face of the digital age, working with technological resources and seeking the best of these means for teaching and learning relationships. Porto encourages students' autonomy and creativity regarding new resources, as well as instrumentalizes them for the present and the future.
Knowing how to express oneself and communicate well is the key to forming global citizens, people capable of understanding multiple nationalities and relating to them. Being fluent in other languages ??is considered a great distinguishing mark for a world connected with such intertwined cultures. Porto enables students to achieve fluency in German, English and Spanish, as well as to develop excellence in Portuguese. Mastering languages ??opens the doors to countries and dissolves borders, allowing students to consider the whole world as a potential travel, study, work and living destination.
