Lourenço Castanho’s Early Childhood Education views children as social and historical individuals who have their own ways of thinking, expressing themselves, and learning.

The act of playing, in its different forms of expression, is the main way of relating to the world around us. During childhood, school takes on a central role in socialization and interaction with others, and Lourenço Castanho offers environments and activities specially designed for children to develop to their fullest potential and build memories.

The integration of different areas of knowledge takes place through projects and ongoing activities, with an emphasis on interculturality and language education, literature with diverse narrative experiences, thinking about mathematics, sciences, arts, and the environment.

The learning experiences in Lourenço Castanho are structured around four key aspects:

Spaces:

Also called the “third teacher,” children’s laboratories aim to encourage broad movement and contact with nature and natural elements, allowing them to explore and be challenged in different aspects (physical, cognitive, sensory);

Materials:

The materials offered are carefully selected, as they are important aesthetic references in the child’s development. Unstructured elements, different supports for recording, various drawing tools, books, toys, among others, are provided for children to explore and express themselves freely;

Interactions:

Learning also stems from relating to others, especially through play, whether with other children or adults. A moment that enhances learning, while also developing coexistence and mutual respect.

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).

Art is one of the main pillars of working with children. The entire pedagogical structure of this stage of education is developed according to the 12 fields of experience proposed by the BNCC, which considers art fundamental.

In this way, there are experiences with the various forms of expression that involve play: whether theater, dance, body, photography, or visual arts.

The child is a producer of culture, with listening, voice, and artistic expression. Legends and literature are anchors of an education that also points to the recognition and development of narratives, which are encouraged to be continued at home.

LC GLOBAL SCHOOL

ENGLISH TWICE A WEEK OR A DUAL LANGUAGE COURSE (ENGLISH AND PORTUGUESE)

One of the innovations in Early Childhood Education is the two options in the regular schedule: a dual-language course (English and Portuguese), or curricular English twice a week. The formative activities of this stage can be carried out in either language, according to preference. In addition, Lourenço Castanho will continue offering the English Programme for all levels.

ENGLISH PROGRAMME

Curricular courses that provide an authentic and in-depth language experience up to twice a week.

With the goals of fostering meaningful connections with the English language and its learning, expanding linguistic, literary, and intercultural repertoires, and promoting expression, communication, and action in English, we organize our pedagogical work into ongoing experiences of Literature, Play, and Expression, and Inquiry Projects. In this way, we diversify the possibilities for deepening knowledge of the language and investigating relevant themes, enabling learning not only of the language and about the language, but also through the language. We also expand opportunities for children to explore spaces of expression, creation, and intervention through various forms of language, while valuing and developing their curiosity and creativity.

Two main pillars organize the activities in the English Programme: Language Arts and Nature & Society.

language arts - Escola Lourenço Castanho | Escola Particular Em São Paulo
