Nations Festival 2025

A Celebration of Different Cultures

Every year, in the month of June, we seek to celebrate not only Brazilian culture but also different influences from around the world through dance, cultural performances, entertainment and food. Our goal is to foster in our students an awareness of the interconnection between people and nations so they can develop an international mindset, which in IB language is referred to as international-mindedness. In 2025, we updated the name of this grand celebration to Nations Festival. A new name, but with the same global, social and charitable spirit.

Once again, part of the proceeds will be donated to the Rainha da Paz Association, a nonprofit organization located in Santana de Parnaíba, founded in 2001, with the mission of welcoming and rehabilitating people with disabilities, as well as providing guidance to their families.

Thanks to the participation and engagement of families over the years, we have been able to help Rainha da Paz acquire essential resources such as wheelchairs. In 2024, we raised a total of R$148,257.78, benefiting 42 children with wheelchairs adapted to their needs, and also purchased 1 freezer and 1 refrigerator for the Movidos Project.

To continue this important initiative, we invite you to contribute with donations toward the purchase of prizes for the event. We suggest a minimum amount of R$50.00 via PIX to the key beneficente@escolainternacional.com.br, by Monday, May 26.

We count on your participation.
