Colégio Alfa CEM, conceived through the dream of a history teacher, was born with a differentiated, and now revered, educational philosophy that boosts the student’s perception, making him reflect, question and mainly transform.
Today, as we educate our second generation of students, children of our successful alumni, we rejoice in the certainty that, through our methodology, we are a transforming part of a successful story.
Maintaining the premise that Human Knowledge is the greatest treasure to be bequeathed to the next generations, and that, at the same time, intellectual autonomy will offer the student the ability to handle knowledge, acquired and/or produced, in a unique and authentic way, Colégio Alfa CEM Bilíngue bets on methodological diversification to generate the pleasure of learning, followed by the development of multiple ways of learning throughout life.
Colégio Alfa CEM Bilíngue opened its headquarters in 1994 and since then has accumulated almost three decades of experience in educating children and adolescents in all segments of basic schooling: Early Childhood Education, Elementary School 1 and 2, and High School. Today, with five established units (Jacarepaguá, Barra da Tijuca – Clube da Aeronáutica, Arena Parque Olímpico, Barra da tijuca – Riviera, and Recreio dos Bandeirantes), having about 2000 students and 250 teachers.
The group is proud to guarantee a unique pedagogical identity which stimulates intellectual autonomy and the development of the most relevant human competence: learning to learn.
Learning to learn: this is the pedagogical goal of Colégio Alfa CEM Bilingual. For this, a curriculum organized by increasing stimuli of creativity, discipline and self-knowledge is put into practice. We combine traditional practices and their recognized benefits with new methodologies for active learning that place students at the centre of the educational process and encourage the development of the skills that the 21st century requires: creativity, entrepreneurship and cooperativism.
An immersive bilingual curriculum (certified by the University of Cambridge), Field Works, Interdisciplinary Projects, the use and construction of new technologies in the classroom – altogether – awaken the passion for learning, broaden horizons and potentialities, ensuring that our students are ready to go beyond.
Colégio Alfa CEM values and promotes the continuous training of teams of teachers as well as for all employees involved in the units. Through many meetings throughout the school year, the staff participate in internal and external courses at the best universities and teacher training institutions.
Some actions for the staff include:
Courses on active methodologies
Hybrid education training
Weekly meetings with pedagogical leaders
Classroom monitoring and guidance
Performance evaluations
To think about the results in the Cambridge Proficiency Exams, we must first know a little about this successful partnership that has been maintained and expanded for more than a decade.
For 11 years, the Alfa CEM Bilíngue Network has used teaching materials from Cambridge University Press in order to consolidate our bilingual project. Therefore, from Early Childhood Education to High School, all of our students use top-notch materials, enabling integrated and immersion teaching.
Based on the excellent results in the Cambridge Proficiency Exams – 100% pass rate –, since 2008, we have become a Cambridge Proficiency Exam Center (Cambridge English – Exam Preparation Centre). What does that mean? That our students participate in Proficiency Exams within the facilities of the Alfa CEM Bilíngue Network.
We entered into a partnership with Cambridge Assessment International Education, in which we were enabled, since 2019, to build a new teaching experience: the internationalization of content.
The internationalization work will take place within Integral and Integral Master, available to students from the 1st to the 5th year of Elementary School 1. There will be an additional 6 hours per week, the equivalent of two more international curriculum subjects, in addition to stimulation of English speaking. With this, our students will be able to immerse themselves with more intensity, getting closer to native fluency.
All of this is the result of intense work focused on student learning. The results were essential for this consolidation:
As the Alfa CEM Bilíngue Network believes in the education of children and young people, stimulating the development of intellectual autonomy, creativity and social responsibility, our students participate annually in international exchanges. This action is another form of exposure to the English language and a real understanding of its use.
