Description:
Lumiar School opened in 2003 by Lumiar
Institute, in downtown São Paulo, is now with 66
2-14 year old students and will keep growing
until it reaches the high school. To ensure a
cultural socio-economically diverse student
body, a majority of the students receive
scholarships in amounts ranging from 25% to
nearly 100% of the tuition. At Lumiar, the
adults play two different roles, as “tutors” and
“masters”. Tutors are full-time members of the
school community, each of whom is responsible
for overseeing and assisting in the development
of a small group of children. Masters are
members of the local community with particular
skills, knowledge, or passion for a certain
field, who comes to the school several hours a
week to develop projects with students, who are
free to participate in as few or as many
projects as they wish. All decisions affecting
the school community, both big and small, are
subject to deliberation and decision by one of a
number of Committees, on which both adults and
children sit on a rotating basis, or during the
School Assembly, in which all members of the
community participate.
