The American School of Vitoria is located at the old gymnasium of the traditional Álvares Cabral Club, close to the main neighborhoods of Vitoria. The structure was recently renovated to meet international standards and the needs of our students.
The school was designed to expand the limits of learning beyond the classroom. All spaces promote cognitive development, encourage exploration and play, and stimulate social, emotional, linguistic, and physical development of each student.
We have a gymnasium with an official size sports court and bleachers that provides a place for interaction between students, staff, and families. In addition to physical education, recreation, and afterschool activities this is the stage for sports competitions, collective presentations, and ceremonies.
In our green area we have a space for organic planting. In this environment, we developed a project called “Sustainable Garden,” where children experience the entire universe of planting, plant care, harvesting and consumption of fresh food. Students will also plan menus to be consumed at the school cafeteria.
The relationship with food changes when the student discovers that he is eating a food that he has planted and cared for.
