Education? Big dilemma, Private vs Public system • Pre-School Education ~ Pre-K • Primary School ~ Elementary + Middle • Secondary School ~ High School • Higher Education ~ College
2 shifts, either you study morning or afternoon, school starts at 7 AM and goes until 12 PM, then after lunch you can stay for special classes such as Swimming,
Judo, Soccer or Theater!!!

Education? Big dilemma, Private vs Public system
Unfortunately Brazilian Public school system is very different of the Private. Schools are very simple, rarely you will find advanced educational technology in
the public system. Teachers are heroes dealing everyday with house/family challenges inside the classroom.
Public School
We would like say we are very glad for Scott Elementary teachers and employees, you gives us hope that one day all Public School worldwide could be like here .
