The world is diverse. Learning can be, too.

Who we are

Welcome to Sphere International School Granja Viana

A world of possibilities to learn, grow and discover new paths.

At Sphere International School Granja Viana, we build an educational experience that brings together care, safety, autonomy and academic excellence, creating the conditions for each student to develop their skills, recognise their potential and take an active part in their learning process.

In a bilingual and intercultural environment, our students learn to communicate, investigate, create, collaborate and find solutions for different situations, developing knowledge and competencies that are meaningful for life, both in and out of school.

Our approach seeks to develop young people who are critical, knowledgeable and good communicators, able to work collaboratively and to move with confidence across different contexts, cultures and realities.

At Sphere, each student is welcomed as an individual and, at the same time, invited to look at the world with curiosity, responsibility and openness to others. We value continuous learning, respect, collaboration and the understanding that what we learn can also contribute to the collective good.

Here, each student finds room to be who they are, to develop into who they can become and to discover a world of possibilities to learn and participate.
