Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Inaugurated in 2013, Positivo International School features innovative architecture that blends sustainability with collaborative learning spaces. The campus is located in the Positivo University complex, providing a complete, safe, and integrated environment with green space, a football field, a swimming pool, a multi-sport gym, and laboratories. The school offers International Baccalaureate programs: Primary Years Programme (ages 2–11), Middle Years Programme (ages 11–15), and Diploma Programme (ages 16–18). English-language instruction prepares students for Cambridge proficiency tests at years 3 and 5, and Theory of Knowledge is integrated into the Diploma Programme. Other features include College Counseling, extracurricular activities, and a reception program that helps new students integrate.

Community

The school emphasizes real learning through the Primary Years Programme cycle, with the transdisciplinary framework focusing on key developmental skills where play motivates inquiry. The Action Cycle is a daily practice that encourages students to be open to change, reflect on attitudes and choices, and grow as local and global citizens. The Middle Years Programme includes Service and Action projects that promote social responsibility, empathy, and global citizenship. A welcoming initiative called Holding Hands helps new students integrate into the school community.
