OUR HISTORY
Building a legacy of learning, one student at a time.
From Six Students to Three Thriving Companies.
The Journey of a Bilingual School.
Once upon a time, nestled between the vibrant mountains of Petrópolis, in Rio de Janeiro, there stood a small, unassuming school with big dreams. This wasn’t just any school; it was a bilingual haven with a mission far grander than just teaching academics. Its founder, envisioned a place where self-awareness, global citizenship, and the integration of subjects were at the forefront of education.
The journey began with activity centers offered in English, while the founder embarked on a trip to Toronto, seeking to bring a revolutionary math program, Jump Math, back to Rio. Armed with determination and a vision for the future, two kids as escorts, she returned home to find her school buzzing with excitement, with licenses ahead. However, excitement wasn’t the only thing in abundance; there were only six students.
With just six eager minds, the dream seemed more like a joke to many. At Jump Math, they would jest, “600 students?” to which she would respond with a smile, “Just the six.” But those six students were more than just numbers; they were the foundation upon a dream that would flourish, and those wonderful people at Jump Math, believed or doubted it could grow, but offered support despite the timid beginning and it meant a lot.
Despite the initial skepticism of many, the founder’s belief in her vision never wavered. Her small group of students became her champions, spreading the word about the unique learning experience they were receiving. Their passion and enthusiasm attracted more families seeking an education that embraced innovation and global awareness.
As the years passed, the school grew from six students to sixty, then to nearly a hundred and in 2024 to 130 and growing. With each new enrollment, the school’s reputation soared, drawing attention from across Brazil and even beyond.
The innovative approach to education, integrating subjects seamlessly and nurturing bilingualism, resonated with parents seeking a different kind of learning environment for their children.
Despite the interests in franchises, the owner felt there was more than just a business ahead. More to explore and deploy for the learning experience, attention to training and assessing of the TEAM members while students hard and soft skills are in fluent growth.
But her vision didn’t stop at the borders of Brazil. She dreamed of expanding this impact beyond Rio, envisioning a network of schools that would empower students to become citizens of the world. With the success of this flagship school, came the decision to venture across the ocean to California, where now some seeds are planted for a first international venture in 2026.
Today, the dream has blossomed into reality. What started as a small joke with just six students has grown into a thriving system for more schools, spanning two countries which will soon impact many hundreds of lives.
A Team’s dedication to the founder’s mission, her belief in the power of education, and the unwavering commitment to students is transforming a small school into powerful lessons for learning environments where students thrive.
As I look back on my journey, I know that the road ahead is filled with endless possibilities. With three companies under my belt and a world of potential at our fingertips, my Team and I are ready to continue growing, dreaming big, and shaping the future – one student at a time.
