Step 1. Open enrollments are offered for Early Childhood Education (from 15 months) and Elementary School (1st to 9th grade). English is a fundamental part of the daily routine across Early Childhood Education and Elementary School. Step 2. The Early Childhood Education program focuses on the global development of the child and builds the foundations for lifelong learning: learning how to learn, in an inspiring and safe environment where each student recognizes their own characteristics, abilities, and competencies from an early age. Step 3. The Elementary Education program emphasizes observation, analysis, evaluation, application, problem solving, creation, and decision making; communication develops in Portuguese and English, and the methodology integrates new students who may not yet be fluent in the second language. Step 4. The school operates two units: Unit I Padre Pereira (Education Infantil) and Unit II Imperatriz Leopoldina (All levels of Elementary). Step 5. For admissions inquiries, visit the Maple Bear Alto de Pinheiros campuses or contact the units: Padre Pereira unit at Av.
