Associate teacher, primary division

Welcome to Avenues São Paulo Since our doors opened in August 2018, we've been on a mission to provide a truly transformative educational experience. Through immersive English language learning and dynamic interdisciplinary projects, we prepare our students to become future worldwise leaders uniquely equipped to understand and solve global-scale problems. As part of the Nord Anglia Education network, we're proud to stand alongside Avenues New York, shaping the future of education together. With a vibrant community of over 1100 students, ranging from as young as 18 months old through to graduation, our campus buzzes with a culture of innovation, creativity, collaboration, and state-of-the-art technology. Join us as we embark on a journey of lifelong learning and growth and discover why there's no place quite like Avenues São Paulo.

Deep Collaboration, Constant Evolution 

Collaboration here isn't a buzzword: it's woven into everything we do. At Avenues, no one teaches on an island. Substantial time to collaborate is embedded into the schedule. Teacher teams, across multiple disciplines, design learning experiences together for a whole grade level. This intensity of collaboration is challenging as well as exciting: we're always evolving, learning from each other and seeking to improve.

Language Immersion 

Avenues students will graduate fluent in a second language and at ease beyond their borders. To this end, in grades N-1 students will be in a full English immersion program and from grades 2-5, Portuguese will take on a prominent place in the classroom.
