OUR WAY OF EDUCATING
Educating for today and preparing for the future is a challenging and ongoing task. It is both possible and necessary to address these two times.

It requires recognizing that each student is unique and learns from what they experience—not just from what they “hear about.”

It requires creating a school environment that is respectful, creative, connected with the world, and values education in all its details, as it is a collective endeavor that, for us, should integrate intellectual, social-emotional, and physical development.

It requires educators who never stop learning, in order to spark curiosity, build knowledge, foster healthy habits, and encourage social bonds, among other skills, in children and young people.

It requires preparing for a better world, which for us means fostering autonomous, creative, ethical, critical, and compassionate citizens who can understand it with an intercultural perspective and act responsibly for its development.
A Lourenço Castanho It believes that, to achieve all this, one must continue learning and challenging oneself throughout life, giving full attention and listening to each student and to the world.


LC GLOBAL SCHOOL
Lourenço Castanho has a range of initiatives that are part of our “LC Global School” approach.so that our students achieve the highest levels of English proficiency, with a focus on the development of competencies and skillsWe are a school connected with the world.
Through other languages, we provide access to different perspectives, discourses, and narratives. Students build knowledge and navigate various contexts.
To achieve this goal, Lourenço Castanho offers:
Curricular English and Spanish
We offer English from Early Childhood Education through High School and Spanish from 6th to 9th grade.
Our courses are part of our curriculum based on the standards established by the MEC, incorporating social practices and authentic language experiences through texts (oral, written, visual, and multimedia).
ENGLISH PROGRAMME
With the diversity of topics covered and an appropriate space for experimentation, students have the opportunity to experience learning creatively, exploring ways to express themselves and develop as speakers of the English language.
Two main pillars organize the activities in the English Programme: Language Arts and Nature & Society.

Constant encouragement of authorship and creativity. Opportunities for experimentation through various forms of cultural and artistic expression.

Approximation of scientific knowledge mediated by the English language, fostering curiosity, observation, and investigation.
GERMAN - PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOETHE-INSTITUT
Students from 6th grade to the 1st year of high school are introduced to German culture through:
• Language classes up to twice a week in the afternoon;
• Engagement with cultural opportunities offered by the Institute, including exhibitions, musical performances, lectures on various cultural topics, and current affairs;
• Use of the Goethe-Institut's virtual and physical library;
• Application for the Studienkolleg, a preparatory course prior to undergraduate studies at German universities.
IB Seal
The seal IB - International Baccalaureate -
Refers to a program that offers an internationally accepted qualification, including for admission to higher education, recognized by top universities worldwide, including in Brazil.
In 2020, after a thorough evaluation process, LC - Vila Nova Conceição became an IB Global School and, in 2021, joined the Diploma Programme, aimed at high school students. In 2023, LC - Alto da Boa Vista achieved the same milestones.


LC CULTURE & ARTS
We understand that the teaching and learning of Art at Lourenço Castanho, from Early Childhood Education to High School, is focused on acquiring and mastering a sensitive system aimed at enhancing students' expressive and communication skills.
From the perspective of being a language, used in its specificity or in articulation with others, Art is, therefore, another language in dialogue with the rest, contributing to a continuous experience that connects knowledge (practical or theoretical) with aesthetic perception (senses) and the exercise of critique (reflection).

LC ENTRANCE EXAMS
ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
Our students are and will be prepared, regardless of the assessment format.
For 3rd-year high school students, college entrance exams represent an important challenge, as the tests have very different characteristics and requirements. To support and empower our students to face this period with resilience, we offer an additional course focused on enrichment and review.
The classes are held starting in March during the afternoon. All teachers have extensive experience with pre-university exam preparation and design their lessons specifically for Lourenço Castanho, taking into account the School’s curriculum, the books studied in Literature classes, the exams students plan to take, and their specific requirements. The classes follow a format typical of college entrance exam preparatory courses.
Check out our students' performance in the Selection Processes.
