Colégio Saint Daniel Brottier

Saint Daniel Brottier School is a private educational institution offering programs from preschool through middle school.

Saint Daniel Brottier School is a private educational institution that serves children from nursery school through 6th grade, offering daycare, preschool, and elementary school (1st and 2nd cycles).

Our mission is to promote children’s cognitive, personal, and social development by providing them with close and consistent support throughout their childhood in a safe, welcoming, and challenging educational environment.

Inspired by the pedagogical model of the Modern School Movement, CSDB’s educational program is based on a social constructivist approach that addresses the current challenges in education. Students are encouraged to question, discover, engage in dialogue, construct knowledge, and reflect, actively participating in their learning process through project-based, cooperative, and interdisciplinary work.

Our educational program is based on a personalized pedagogical approach, guided by the principle of observing, caring for, and getting to know each child, supporting them as they develop their full potential. Our educational approach focuses on effective pedagogical differentiation, respecting the pace, interests, and learning styles of each child and student, offering an alternative to uniform, lecture-based school models.

Proficiency in English is also a fundamental aspect of the school’s educational model, with daily English classes and sessions designed to prepare students for an intercultural world characterized by international mobility.

At CSDB, upper-grade classes are mixed-ability, due to the proven metacognitive benefits this approach offers students; however, in core subjects (Portuguese, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and History, Geography, and Politics), groups are organized by ability level to ensure the success of the CLIL pedagogical approach, a strategy for internationalizing these students’ curriculum.
