Elementary School

Childhood gains background. Curiosity transforms into wisdom. The heart grows along with knowledge.

"Christian education not only forms the intellect, but molds the human being in all his dignity, preparing him to serve with truth and freedom."

—Second Vatican Council, Gravissimum Educationis.

At Heavenly International School, the Elementary School years mark the beginning of a solid and enchanting journey, where knowledge and being walk hand in hand. Each subject, project, and activity serves a comprehensive, bilingual, demanding, and deeply human education, grounded in the values of the Gospel and best educational practices.

Learn with meaning, grow with purpose.

In the early years, our students develop:

Through games, stories, dialogue, and inquiry, our students develop:

Intellectual and emotional autonomy;
Communication skills in Portuguese and English;
Logical reasoning, historical awareness, and scientific curiosity;
Positive leadership and ethical coexistence;

Through interdisciplinary projects, educational games, and challenges such as poetry, spelling, and mental arithmetic contests, learning takes place in engaging, concrete ways.

Bilingual Education and a Dynamic Curriculum:

At Heavenly International School, bilingualism is not just a communication tool, but an essential part of a comprehensive education. Our students experience English daily in diverse academic, artistic, and athletic contexts in a natural and meaningful way.

With a carefully structured curriculum, we offer 50% English and 50% Portuguese, ensuring a balance between cultural identity and international recognition. This methodology provides students not only with fluency but also critical thinking, confidence, and a global perspective, preparing them to interact and excel anywhere in the world.

Bilingual literacy is carefully guided, respecting each child's pace and preparing them to communicate clearly and confidently in two languages. We are dedicated to developing bilingual students who integrate academic excellence, cultural awareness, and a global perspective, turning learning into a valuable life skill.

Academic Competitions and External Assessments:

At Heavenly, academic excellence extends beyond the classroom. Our students are constantly challenged to apply their knowledge in national and international competitions,which foster self-confidence, logical reasoning, creativity, and the ability to push themselves beyond their limits.

These results strengthen our commitment to prepare each student to meet high performance standards, always providing personalized support and aligning with global best teaching practices.

Highlights include:

Kangaroo Math Test;
Brazilian Astronomy Olympiad (OBA);
Brazilian Public School Math Olympiad (OBMEP) for Juniors;
Cambridge Exam; ; ;
Spelling Competitions;
Mental Calculation Competition;
Poetry Contest.

More than medals and certificates, each challenge represents another step toward developing students who are prepared to face a competitive world with confidence, resilience, and excellence.

Catholic Education: Living Faith from Childhood:

Spirituality in elementary School deepens through meaningful experiences of prayer, friendship with Jesus, and sacramental life.
With the Good Shepherd Catechesis, students continue to experience their faith with joy, silence, and contemplation, preparing to receive First Communion consciously and vividly.

In this segment, faith ceases to be merely learned and comes to life in action: students participate in pastoral clubs, where they practice Christian virtues, learn to serve, take on responsibilities, and discover that their friendship with Jesus can transform the world around them.

Eles também experienciam:

Masses and retreats;
Personal and community prayer;
Virtues classes and spiritual formation are integrated into daily life.

"Faith must be taught with love and lived with enthusiasm. Only in this way is a truly Christian heart formed."

—Pope Francis

Physical Education

From the 1st year onwards, students begin attending Physical Education (P.E.) classes, taught in English. Learn the fundamentals of sports such as futsal, handball, volleyball, and track and field, as well as values like respect, cooperation, and self-control — all in a healthy, bilingual, and inclusive environment.

Because education is more than teaching.

At Heavenly International School, intellectual formation serves something greater: leading each student to recognize their vocation and live with faith, courage, and meaning.
