Discover, Learn, and Grow in Nature
Our Learning Groups
Explorers (5-8 years)
Our Explorer’s Group is designed for our youngest learners as they embark on their journey of discovery and exploration. Here, we create a nurturing environment where children can freely engage with the world around them, cultivating their curiosity and wonder.
Adventurers (9-12 years)
In the school year 2025/2026, we will open enrollment for our Adventurers Group. This Group will focus on project-based, collaborative learning, encouraging students to explore and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. As they engage in hands-on activities, they will also take on leadership roles by sharing their discoveries and guiding younger students, fostering a strong sense of community and responsibility.

Monthly Excursions
To enrich their learning experience, students participate in monthly excursions to various locations on the island, providing hands-on learning opportunities that connect classroom knowledge to the real world.
Benefits
Language Integration
Our program emphasizes bilingual development, with English as the primary language and Portuguese as a secondary language. To support this, we offer weekly classes designed to enhance Portuguese language skills.
Basic English knowledge is encouraged for participation, ensuring a smoother transition into the group. For children joining without prior English proficiency, the first year focuses on English language learning.
Intimate Learning Groups
We maintain a maximum class size of eight children per accredited teacher experienced in alternative education.
This personalized approach allows for tailored instruction and support, fostering meaningful relationships between students and educators.
Social and Emotional Intelligence
Every first Thursday of the month, our partnered children’s psychologist, Mara Nóbrega, will visit the campus to train the children in Social and Emotional Intelligence.
The goal of these sessions is to empower children with essential social and emotional tools to help them thrive. Through playful and engaging activities, Mara will guide the children in developing important skills such as emotional regulation, empathy, frustration management, self-esteem, and digital safety.
Additional Family Support
During the Social and Emotional Intelligence classes, Mara will observe the group dynamics and evaluate if any child may need additional support. If so, parents will have the opportunity to book private family therapy or one-on-one sessions with Mara directly.
She is also able to provide recommendations and referrals to specialized therapies, including psychomotricity, speech, and occupational therapy.
