Global Me School began in 2004 in the Jardins neighborhood of São Paulo with a mission to create a safe, welcoming, and captivating learning environment for young children. It quickly became a reference in early bilingual education and built an experienced team who understand teaching as an act of love. In January 2023, a second campus opened in Itaim, enabling Global Me to educate children up to 10 years old (grades 1–5). In 2024, the school began offering education to children aged 6 to 10, and it plans to reach the 6th year in 2027 as it continues to grow. The approach rests on core values including body and movement, healthy eating, mindfulness, arts and music, sustainability, and constructive practices.
Global Me operates two campuses: Jardins and Itaim Bibi in São Paulo. Facilities include expansive spaces surrounded by nature, a heated indoor pool, a library, music and ballet/theater spaces, an art studio, a Makerspace, and a culinary area. The school teaches in a bilingual program with English taught daily by a team that speaks English fluently and uses English full-time. Global Me collaborates with partners such as Innovamat for mathematics education and implements the Program of Inquiry (POI) across its campuses.
