Projeto Brasil's differentials
Projeto Brasil has a team of trained and specialized professionals who, through an interdisciplinary curriculum, seek to intervene in a playful and mediating way in the process of learning and improving the language.
Another difference is the support and training we offer parents and educators. Our goal is to facilitate, transmit and connect Brazilian culture with our students. Whoever it is, big or small, Brazilian or American, we use different proposals, but always with the same goal.
About Projeto Brasil
Our weekly classes, both face-to-face and online, offer a wide range of activities, including art, music, dance, STEAM, reading, Brazilian history, grammar games (such as Gramaticoteca) and group work. The workshops, which start every 5 weeks, will continue to offer enriching activities such as cooking, art, dance, mathematical games and children’s music, contributing to the development of the child.
integral development of each child.
These workshops are optional and complement the weekly classes, providing a diverse and stimulating educational experience. In addition, Projeto Brasil offers a Camp during Spring Break and Summer, providing students with a unique opportunity to learn and have fun during the school vacations.
Teaching methods
Methodology
We believe that learning is more effective when
students are active participants in the process. When you join
our classes, you will find students engaged in
group activities, immersed in reading books, carrying out
experiments, collaborating on projects, singing, counting
stories and, in short, always getting down to work.
In our classrooms, the teacher acts as a guide, facilitating
activities and projects, and encouraging students to investigate, create, lead and present their discoveries and creations.
We are committed to providing an environment of
dynamic and engaging learning, where students are encouraged to explore, experiment and create autonomously.

A música não é apenas divertida — está cientificamente comprovado que melhora o desenvolvimento cerebral em crianças pequenas!
No Projeto Brasil, integramos música em nossas aulas para melhorar a memória, a capacidade de atenção e as habilidades de linguagem. Pesquisas mostram que crianças que se envolvem com música regularmente têm melhores habilidades verbais e de alfabetização. Além disso, a música ajuda a tornar o aprendizado de português uma experiência divertida e interativa.
🧠 Brain Booster: Estudos da Harvard Medical School sugerem que o treinamento musical ajuda no desenvolvimento cognitivo da primeira infância.
🎶 Como fazemos: Em cada aula, apresentamos canções tradicionais brasileiras e jogos musicais para ensinar vocabulário, ritmo e pronúncia.
Deixe seu filho explorar o mundo dos sons conosco! 🎸🥁

Music isn’t just fun—it’s scientifically proven to enhance brain development in young children!
At Projeto Brasil, we integrate music into our lessons to improve memory, attention span, and language skills. Research shows that children who engage with music regularly have better verbal and literacy skills. Plus, music helps make learning Portuguese a fun and interactive experience.
🧠 Brain Booster: Studies from Harvard Medical School suggest that musical training helps in early childhood cognitive development.
🎶 How we do it: In each class, we introduce traditional Brazilian songs and musical games to teach vocabulary, rhythm, and pronunciation.
Let your child explore the world of sounds with us! 🎸🥁
