A place to learn and thrive. Our excellent academic curriculum is supplemented with a range of activities and offers outside the classroom to enrich learning experiences during the school day.
Student Life
We are convinced that the place where students learn has a decisive influence on how they learn. At Escola Nova by SIS, we therefore place great importance on an open school space that provides a welcoming atmosphere to students, staff, parents and guests alike, thus creating a pleasant overall environment.
Escola Nova by SIS is known for its support and encouragement of sports. In total, five sports courts are distributed throughout the school premises so that everyone can enjoy appropriate spaces for physical activities, whether during classes, breaks, or during preparation for championships.
Our teaching approach makes the cafeteria a fundamental part of school life. A bright and inviting space where students can have meals in groups and meet for snacks during breaks.
A space where children can climb, run, or use their creativity to create stories and games. A playful environment designed for free play in contact with nature.
Our laboratory is dedicated to the natural sciences and is where our students, with the support of specialised teachers and technicians, put into practice a series of experiments. Located on the natural stone of the hillside, our students feel embraced by nature.
Our library is located at the entrance of the school building and provides a welcoming and enjoyable environment for reading, group work, and studying. With a vast collection, it is divided according to age range, and forms a space where our students and their families are encouraged to visit daily.
Our school is powered by solar panels installed on the roof of our building. Whenever possible, interested students visit the site to investigate and deepen their knowledge about clean energy, accompanied by a teacher.
Strong Network
For our students, we organise numerous activities that promote international exchange. In particular, the SIS Cup and the annual Intercountry Activity provide a shared experience and a glimpse beyond the boundaries of a school.
During the SIS Cup, which spans two days, the focus is on sports, fairness, and fun. Teams from all SIS schools compete against each other in individual and team disciplines, while everyone cheers, plays, sweats, and laughs. In 2023, Escola Nova by SIS was part of the Brazilian delegation, and gathered 6 students who participated in the competition.
In addition to sports, we also connect our learners through the annual Intercountry Activity. In previous years, we have organised international math days, a gift exchange, a storytelling exchange, a photo campaign, and an IT activity using Ozobots.
Furthermore, we recognise the three best written theses by SIS graduates with the SIS Best Essay Award. These written works are produced as part of the final examination for national university entrance qualifications or the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma.
We will continue to develop exciting formats. Join us and be a part of it!
Student Life
At the end of the school day, our students have the possibility to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, focused on their areas of interest and individual needs. In a relaxed and fun environment, they develop new skills, friendships and autonomy.
With a variety of options, our students can choose activities that develop logical thinking, creative thinking, interpersonal relationships, and planning, sports, artistic and socio-emotional skills. We offer activities that propose challenges suitable for each age group. Every activity is developed and supervised by qualified educators in the related area and, sometimes, it is carried out in partnership with specialised institutions.
Student Life
Every day, students can enjoy lunch in the school cafeteria. The buffet, developed by nutritionists, offers a wide variety of choices so that students can enjoy a healthy, balanced and attractive meal. During lunchtime, younger students are accompanied by teachers and assistants, who encourage conscious and healthy eating habits as well as autonomy.
Student Life
Regular field trips, games, exercise and movement, both indoors and outdoors, play an important role at Escola Nova by SIS. Furthermore, the children take part in activities and projects with other classes, and celebrate our community's festivals and traditions.
