Nord Anglia family of schools, where their students and colleagues
will benefit from all the new global opportunities we offer inside
and outside the classroom.”
Maria Helena Bresser, Founder, Partner
and General Director of Escola Móbile, said: “Our goal has
always been to prepare students for a world without borders. With
Nord Anglia, we will further enrich the experience we offer our
students. We will continue with a unique and original pedagogical
proposal; a diverse and constantly developing curriculum; genuine
attention to the individuality of children and adolescents; a new
and exceptional range of global opportunities; and, as always, a
team of educators passionate about the immense responsibility of
introducing the world to a learner.”
One of Brazil’s leading private
schools Escola Móbile’s reputation has made it one of the
most desirable schools in Brazil following the national curriculum.
The school educates children through a traditional Brazilian
curriculum from Pre-K at 2 years old through to graduation in 12th
Grade at 18 years old. A bilingual programme is also available from
Pre-K at 4 years old to 9th Grade teaching in Portuguese and
English.
Escola Móbile has a long-standing track-record
for academic excellence. In 2023, it was ranked amongst the top 10
schools for academics according to the ENEM, Brazil’s National High
School Exams, and has come first in São Paulo for 11 consecutive
years in the exam (for schools with 100+ students). According to
PISA-S (Pisa for Schools), students obtained outstanding results in
Reading, Mathematics and Science when compared to the averages of
500+ Brazilian schools and 10,000+ schools from OECD member
countries.
The school’s students attend prestigious
Brazilian universities including Universidade de São Paulo,
Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Fundação Getulio
Vargas, and Insper. Equally impressive are the overseas
universities its graduates attend, including Stanford University,
Duke University, Northwestern University, Georgia Tech, UCLA, the
University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, The British Columbia
Institute of Technology, and more.
