High School
High School comprises classes from the 1st to the 3rd grades, consisting predominantly of adolescents and young people in their singularity, who seek their social legitimacy. In this way, the school must provide them with training that allows them to define a life project, both in terms of study and work, as well as in terms of healthy, sustainable and ethical lifestyle choices.
Given these assumptions, Colégio Dimensão seeks the formation of critical, creative, autonomous and responsible subjects through committed, meaningful and contextualized teaching.
Colégio Dimensão adopts the teaching material from the “Objetivo” Teaching System for basic education subjects, such as: Mathematics, Grammar, Literature, Writing, History, Geography, Philosophy, Sociology, Chemistry, Physics Biology, English and Art. The notebooks contain theory and exercises that help the development of classes and fixing the content, at school and at home.
Our Specialized Faculty is responsible for supporting and guiding students, through the harmonic development of all their potential in line with educational objectives. And yet, we have an Institutional Psychologist, to provide preventive support and referral to other professionals, when necessary.
Our Assessment Method seeks to promote daily commitment to studies, thus providing a programmed schedule of weekly assessments, applied on two days a week. With regard to External Assessments, we apply and encourage the realization of bimonthly specific tests that contribute to the preparation and development of the skills required in these types of assessments.
Given the importance of the school in outlining the students’ life project, as subjects with stories and knowledge built on interactions with other people, Colégio Dimensão through the “Escola da Inteligência” Program, designed by Dr. Augusto Cury, implements a culture for the development of emotional intelligence, psychosocial health and the building of healthy relationships within the school community.
1st GRADE – NEW HIGH SCHOOL
For 2021, we will implement the New High School for the 1st grade classes, and we will gradually make this implementation, being 2022 for the 2nd grade and so on. This New High School will include Basic General Training with the textbooks of the “Objetivo” Teaching System and 20% of classes in distance learning (E-Learning) developed and made available through the Objetivo Website with the tutorship of the teachers from Colégio Dimensão.
Two Formative Itineraries will be offered to students in this series, namely:
• Domains in Natural Sciences (which will have a defined approach in the disciplines of Biology, Physics and Chemistry);
• Domains in Human Sciences (with an in-depth approach in the disciplines of History, Geography, Philosophy and Sociology).
The chosen Itinerary will be contemplated throughout the school year which will direct the student, in his best ability, to the path he chose for his future.
We have weekly classes from “Escola da Inteligência”, which intensifies socio-emotional education with its diversified classes and a personalized environment in a special classroom.
We work with a fixed schedule of two weekly evaluations, for the development of the students’ study routine and also their autonomy in the face of evaluations. We provide institutional tests every two months, Olympics of the most diverse subjects and also external tests (“Enem” and “Fuvestão”), resources for that students develop a familiarity with the styles of skills and competencies developed and charged in these types and assessments.

Our School Projects
• Solidary Seal Campaign: aims to collect 2-liter “Pets” bottles filled with aluminum seals, for every 140 filled bottles we can exchange for a wheelchair in partnership with CCR SPVIAS. Sensitizing our students to empathy, solidarity actions, as well as the idea of environmental and social sustainability for the future of the Planet. So far, we have managed to collect 4 wheelchairs that have been donated.
• Hunger for books: It is important to awaken and stimulate a taste for reading in our students of the most diverse genres and to promote care and respect with physical material (books, magazines, comic books, refrigerator-place where books are exchanged) that will lead to a natural development in speech, writing and improvement in the interpretation of texts and statements of exercises.
• Pedagogical Visits Students have the opportunity to visit places that enrich the content seen in the classroom. Through supervised visits to museums, exhibitions, trade fairs, zoos, among others (itineraries to be defined *).
Extracurricular Activities
• Judo Classes (“Sérgio Lex” Judo School).
