Since 2003, we’ve been educating for
a broader understanding of the world, the development of multiple intelligences, free expression, and respect for diversity.
Since 2003, Escola Pedra da Gávea has been committed to nurturing children’s autonomy of thought, expanding their understanding of the world, and encouraging free expression, social interaction, and respect for diversity. We aim to help each child recognize their potential and take an active role in their own growth.
Our educational approach values interdisciplinary, interest-driven projects that promote discovery and play as powerful sources of learning. We embrace multiple forms of expression as essential tools for communication, creativity, and knowledge-building.
At Escola Pedra da Gávea, our educational methodology is rooted in innovation and care for the whole child. We emphasize comprehensive development, nurturing students’ socioemotional skills, cognitive abilities, and physical well-being. Our approach integrates knowledge through meaningful, interdisciplinary projects inspired by students’ interests. We value play, creativity, and multiple forms of expression as essential paths to learning, fostering autonomy, critical thinking, and a sense of belonging in each student.
