Process steps are simple, welcoming, and carried out with care: 01 Formulário de Interesse — Fill the online form with basic information about the family, which starts a personalized contact. 02 Contato com a equipe — The team will reach out to understand the profile and schedule a visit to the school (in person or virtual). 03 Visita — During the visit, the school's spaces, values, and methodology are presented. 04 Bem-vindo à Builders — After learning the proposal, the necessary enrollment information and documents are provided and the family is ready to join Builders.
