\"What's<\/a>

What’s the aprenda\u00b2 project?<\/p><\/div>\n

A aprenda\u00b2 (meaning “learning squared”) is a pilot project<\/strong>, bringing together a community of professors with the goal of developing avant-garde<\/em> learning tools<\/strong> which can be applied to both public and private education. We are a social organization established since 2010. Part of the profits are reinvested into the project.
\nWe specifically aim to combat the problems which riddle Brazilian education by offering professors private and public establishments with free or low-cost materials and by training them in innovative teaching methods.
\nAt the moment, we are experimenting with new teaching methods during our private classes in order to test and develop our methodologies in practice with the professors and students themselves. The idea is that, once developed, these innovative teaching methods will be made available to other educational institutions.\u00a0This project is funded by the services we offer society. Our services are centered around projects which incite communication between different peoples \u2013 keeping in mind that our most important source of revenue remains language courses and translations. In the near future, we plan to launch an investment project with social investors.<\/p>\n

A SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL PROJECT<\/h2>\n

All the services we offer aim to further the aprenda\u00b2 project.
\n. In order to stay true to our ambitions, we work in the medium-long term.

PORTUGUESE CLASSES FOR FOREIGNERS<\/h2>\n

\nIn order to finance our project independently, we offer Portuguese as a second language classes for foreigners in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, as well as on Skype. For this, we developed our ALEGRIA course<\/strong> which focuses, not only on the teaching of Portuguese (as delineated by the European Charter of Common Reference), but also on exploring diverse aspects of Brazil\u2019s culture.
\nFurthermore, all our professors are graduates of Brazil\u2019s top universities and offer students modern pedagogy and teaching methods.
\nThe preparation course for the CELPE-BRAS exam is one of the most sought after of the courses offered on our premises.<\/p>\n
