Our English program develops the four core language skills: speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Through dynamic and engaging lessons, we guide students toward a B2 proficiency level, equipping them with the communication tools they need for academic and professional success.

In this program, students develop programming, creativity, and digital skills while designing board and digital games. Guided by former EduMais students, they explore marketing and art throughout the creative process. The final result: games that tackle real issues in society, designed by young minds who care.

During the final year of high school, students propose a project that addresses a need in the community and develop their own English business plan, then present it. This program encourages entrepreneurial thinking and personal development.

Transitioning from school to adulthood can be challenging. Our “Enter the Labor Market” course prepares final-year students with the practical skills they need to navigate the job market and adjust confidently to adult life.

Our January Summer Camp combines Serious Game Design and English in a fun and immersive environment. Students explore game dynamics, animation, and coding, while also practicing English, creating arts and crafts, playing sports, and making music. Above all, the camp cultivates critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

We select outstanding students to attend YMCA Camp Hazen in the United States, living with a local family for an immersive cultural and language experience. For undergraduate students with an advanced level of English, we offer post-graduate opportunities at the University of Sydney, opening doors to higher education and global academic experiences.

The love we have for the amazing young people in the favelas motivates us to merge resources worldwide and bridge the educational gaps in the community rooted in systemic issues such as poverty and prejudice. We hope the love we give can support the students to reach their full potential and assist in them knowing how strong and capable they are.

EduMais believes in empowering young people in multiple aspects including social skills, emotional awareness and academic development. We support the students’ process of shaping their characters and preparing for the future with attention and care.

We are committed to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and adolescents in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas. Our dedicated volunteers are trained to create a safe place of exploration, experimentation, and learning where these young people can feel connected and valued.

EduMais operates with deep awareness and understanding of the environment and the systematic issues our youth grow up and interact daily with and the profound effect these can have on a child.  By following Positive Discipline’s mantra of “firm and kind”, we are dedicated to supporting our students socially, emotionally, and academically.

EduMais encourages children, teenagers, and young adults to learn about their strengths and to become the best versions of themselves even in hardships. By fostering a caring and supportive environment, they are motivated to develop curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.

EduMais believes that every child deserves to be treated with dignity and integrity. We instill the democratic principles of respect and equality in all our programs to ensure their voices are heard, that they belong and are significant. Students learn from each other and create a positive cycle of shared knowledge.
