EAV will open Feb 01, 2018 in Enseada do Suá, Vitória. At EAV we prepare, support, and advocate for engagement and learning through a progressive approach to education. See our website: www.escolaamericana.com.br The first phase of our school will consist of preschool classrooms (ages 3-5) in an English-immersion environment. Our curriculum is inquiry based and constructivist in nature. Our school is located in a beautiful, renovated house that has been totally remodeled to fit the needs of young students who will actively participate in exploration and play as vehicles for students to construct an understanding of themselves and the world around them. We're centrally located to many areas of Vitória, at the base of the bridge to Vila Velha, Ilha do Boi and a short distance from Praia do Canto. Our school is full of unique details designed by local architect Fabiane Giestes.
