Plan your visit
A REAL CONVERSATION

A visit is a chance to replace promises with questions.

Bring your expectations. Tell us what matters to your family. Ask about the school day, teaching, communication and how the Institute works. A useful visit makes the actual experience clearer.

Choosing a school involves more than comparing photographs. It means understanding the everyday experience your child may become part of. A visit gives your family an opportunity to connect what you have read with the spaces and people you meet.

There is no need to arrive with a decision already made. Bring your questions and use the conversation to understand whether the Institute fits your family’s needs.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Bring what matters to your family.

Think about your child’s current routine, previous school experiences and what your family hopes to find in a school. Write down practical questions about the intended class, session and daily organisation.

If your child has specific needs or is going through a transition, mention this when arranging the visit so the team can advise you about the conversation. You do not need to send sensitive documents through the website.

Confirm the address, the agreed time and who will attend. The map below offers routes through Google Maps and Waze.

DURING THE VISIT

Look beyond the first impression.

Observe the spaces you are shown and ask how they are used in everyday school life. Talk about teaching, classroom activities and the way the school communicates with families.

Ask which spaces and activities can be seen at the agreed time. A visit takes place within a working school and should respect the privacy and routine of students and staff.

Notice which questions have been answered and which need a follow-up conversation. A useful visit gives you information you can take home, rather than pressure to decide immediately.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

What should you ask before enrolling?

  1. Which classes and sessions will be offered in 2027?
  2. How do arrival, departure and the daily routine work?
  3. Who is the family's contact person?
  4. How does the school communicate with parents and guardians?
  5. What educational activities and projects can I learn about?
  6. How are adjustment, relationships and specific needs discussed and handled?
  7. What fees, documents and materials apply?
  8. What is the current availability for the intended class?
AFTER THE CONVERSATION

Give your decision the attention it deserves.

Review your notes and compare the answers with your family’s priorities. Consider the school experience alongside practical matters such as travel, the intended session and the information provided about costs and materials.

If anything remains unclear, contact the team again. Class availability, documents, fees and enrolment procedures should be confirmed with the school office. Your family can then make its decision with clearer information.

ARRANGE YOUR VISIT

Shall we find a good time to talk?

Visits are arranged with the school team. Send a message to check available days and times.

Tell the school team your child’s intended class or school stage and preferred session. Share which days work for your family and wait for the team to confirm availability before travelling.

The conversation does not automatically confirm a visit or reserve a place. Ask the school office about the arrangements and enrolment information that apply to your family.

The Institute is in Maranguape II, Paulista.
