Tip Toe Discovery School was founded by two sisters, Suzana and Vera, who sought to combine the Montessori Method with a bilingual education. In 1997, they opened Tip Toe - Montessori School of Alphaville in a country house and began teaching English to five preschool students. Over the years, their approach gained recognition, and the school expanded in facilities and grade levels. In 1999, the first group of students graduated from Elementary School, and in 2013 High School was inaugurated; in 2020 the school, now called Tip Toe Discovery, celebrated its first High School graduating class. With twenty-eight years of experience, alumni have pursued higher education in Brazil, the United States, Europe, and many parts of the world.
