Elementary School - Initial Years

A complete educational journey

At Builders, we aim to nurture students who are academically prepared, emotionally secure, and aware of their abilities. We foster autonomy, collaboration, a welcoming spirit, technological skills, and the confidence to make their own choices. These qualities are further strengthened in Elementary School, as students begin to take on greater responsibility and awareness of their role in the community.

Um processo vivo, integrado e centrado no aluno.

Descobrir com sentido

Nesta etapa, o aluno é instigado a fazer perguntas, observar, investigar e experimentar.

Construir com autonomia

Aqui, teoria e prática se encontram. O aluno aprofunda conteúdos, constrói hipóteses, argumenta e desenvolve competências cognitivas e socioemocionais.

Aplicar com propósito

Na última etapa, o conhecimento ganha função social. Os alunos aplicam o que aprenderam em projetos reais, fortalecem seu protagonismo e entendem o valor do que constroem.

Holistic development and student agency

Our pedagogical approach prioritizes the holistic development of students, encouraging them to expand their skills and competencies. Students are empowered to take an active role in their learning, exploring the world around them, engaging in interdisciplinary projects, and connecting with the community.

With a dynamic curriculum tailored to individual needs, we promote academic excellence while preparing students to become global, responsible, and sustainable citizens, ready to face the challenges of the future.

What families say about Builders School

It is a school that dialogues with the family, promoting the presence of the family in curricular and extracurricular activities; conducts in a very harmonious and respectful way the conflicts that arise among students, helping them in dialogue, respect and coexistence with differences; provides learning based on experience and seeking information, building a sense of autonomy and exploration; and finally, an impeccable teaching staff not only in technical competence, but especially in the loving, kind and respectful conduct with the individuality of each child.

Our daughter has been part of Builders since she was 2 years and 8 months old. We love the school because it has the values we believe in, education through welcoming, conversation, concern for the environment, etc. We highly recommend it.

Builders has always been an extremely welcoming environment for our family. Since Pedro entered K2 in 2018, I have noticed, on a daily basis, how education through love transforms the children's experience. Learning happens in a truly meaningful way, through projects that they themselves develop since Early Childhood Education. This allows them to become protagonists of their own knowledge.

As a mother of two children who study at Builders, one 7 years old and the other 4, I feel enormous gratitude for having found a school that truly welcomes, teaches and transforms. From day one, I noticed the team's affection and commitment to providing a safe, stimulating and meaningful environment for children. Builders' constructivist approach makes all the difference. Here, my children not only learn content, but develop autonomy, critical thinking and confidence to explore the world around them. Bilingual immersion teaching has been an incredible experience, making English something natural in their daily lives. In addition, the concern with emotional development and sustainability values directly reflects in the way they see and interact with people and the environment. Seeing my children going happily to school every day, curious and motivated, gives me the certainty that they are in the right place. I am very grateful to Builders for providing such a welcoming, inspiring and transformative space!
