Camino is the result of a union of professionals from different areas of knowledge that came together for the same cause: ensuring that students and teachers from Brazil and beyond have access to an education that responds to the challenges we face today and produces tools to build the reality that we want in the future. We encourage daily thinking about educational models where learning is at the center, and we invite students, parents, teachers and managers to participate with us in this transformation. We know that learning is living, and living is a journey. We live in the information age of the 21st century and our young people have become digital natives; however, we also live on a planet that is in crisis and in a world filled with structural inequalities. The question is no longer how education prepares the individual for the world, but rather how it allows us to choose how we would like to reach the 22nd century. John Dewey said "Education is not the preparation for life; education is life itself.."​ It is continuous, active, collaborative, social, intense and innovative. It is does not happen within four walls, passively, without relevance. Education is the exercise of living and building our way, and our schools, platforms, and proposals must honor that mission. Camino proposes a quality education that looks at life and we ensure that the success of our proposal comes from the beauty and consistency of our journey. We invite participation in the process so that we can dream, live and learn side-by-side. Together we can nurture and challenge, knowing that each achievement is the celebration of new beginnings, that each individual is incredibly unique and, most importantly, that we all walk in life together.
