THE LAB SCHOOL AT THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION (EA)

The School of Education maintains a Lab School (Escola de Aplicação) that was annexed to the CRPE building in the 1960’s. Nowadays, it offers education for a diverse community of 728 children and adolescents, from elementary through secondary school.

At the Lab School, internship and research projects can be developed by students and professors from the School of Education and from other institutes at the University of São Paulo. Moreover, the Lab School at the School of Education makes it possible for researchers to get in touch with several Lab Schools maintained by other Brazilian public universities.

The programs for Elementary and Secondary Education are similar to other public schools, but EA offers three foreign languages (French, Spanish and English) and also Philosophy for High School. Students participate in projects developed by different areas of knowledge (Portuguese, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Foreign Languages, Art and Physical Education). There are also Field Trips with students, as well as extracurricular activities in periods before/after school, with the participation of teachers, trainees, students of Pedagogy and other Undergraduate courses of USP, coordinated by the school staff and graduate students, supervised by the School Management Team.
