Camino School
Camino School is an innovative trilingual school in São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2020 with the goal of preparing students for the real world through active, project-based learning and strong socio-emotional development. Instead of traditional lecture-based instruction, students learn through interdisciplinary “expeditions” where they investigate real-world problems, collaborate, and apply knowledge in practice. Camino’s model has gained international recognition–the school was named a finalist for the Innovation category of the World’s Best School Prizes, which highlights schools transforming education globally.
