Early Years

At Santos, young learners aged 2 to 5 (Toddler 1 to Kinder 2) begin their educational journey in a dynamic, bilingual environment, where play, exploration, and creativity shape each day. In this setting, each child leads their own learning and builds confidence through hands-on projects, interactive stories, and collaborative activities in English and Portuguese. 

Our curriculum 

At our Vahia de Abreu Campus, designed especially for Early Years and Elementary School, children develop social and cognitive skills. Through daily activities, they explore their interests and build a strong foundation for learning.

Move with confidence and purpose
