ABOUT US
FOUNDERS
We are very honored and proud that, since 1992, more than 3,000 children and young people have been educated at Colégio do Vale.
In this three-decade journey, we have constantly innovated, grown and challenged ourselves, in a process of continuous improvement focused on the development and teaching of these children and young people, and also based on the learning provided by all of them, and by their families.
We are certain that the experience in the “College do Vale Family” will serve and be remembered for a lifetime, and to those who are part of it, we will always wish much happiness and success.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Since its creation, on September 21, 1992, Colégio do Vale has operated as an Integrated School where children and students from Nursery to the 9th Year of Basic Education are found.
As a school that defines itself as a social organization where everyone interacts and has the responsibility to play an active role, all actions carried out by Colégio do Vale are based on the following guiding principles:
- The Student as a subject constructing knowledge
- Autonomy and curricular flexibility
- Diverse learning experiences
- Education for citizenship
- Equality of educational opportunities
- Inclusive Education
- Active participation of families
- Responsible participation of all
Our Educational Project must be an effective response in building a collective consciousness that is more oriented towards the world, towards others and towards the preservation of historical, cultural and environmental heritage.
Colégio do Vale, through its Educational Project, expresses itself as a social organization that builds knowledge that is both individual and collective and that, through the interactions of its internal structure, but also crossing borders, provides significant learning experiences in order to educate intellectually and morally prepared citizens, capable of acting in a competitive world, but also cooperative, tolerant and supportive.

The curricula encompass the set of essential and structuring learning to be developed by STUDENTS, taking as reference the Curricular Guidelines, the essential principles of the MEM – Modern School Movement, in the Nursery and Kindergarten, the Student Profile at the end of Compulsory Schooling, the Social Security Guidelines and the Programs of the Ministry of Education, the Pedagogical and Curricular Matrices, the Skills to be developed in the 21st century and the local and specific characteristics of Colégio do Vale, aiming to adapt them to its context as a School conceived and assumed as an organization with its own identity, with pedagogical autonomy and decision-making power.

The Educational Community has as direct participants in the educational process, the Students, Parents and/or Guardians, Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff of Colégio do Vale and it is important that everyone knows and participates in the daily construction of our project, in accordance with the inherent responsibilities and skills of each one.
