Discover the fascinating world of the German language at Colégio Cruzeiro!

In the age of globalization, mastering multiple languages is essential for achieving professional and personal success. That’s why at Colégio Cruzeiro we offer our students a unique experience of linguistic and cultural immersion.

German, the most widely spoken mother tongue in the European Union, is a strategic choice for those who want to expand their horizons and stand out in an increasingly connected world. Besides being the official language in six European countries, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, the German language also plays an important role on the economic scene, with Germany being the largest economy of the European Union, which contains 27 countries as members.

At Colégio Cruzeiro, we welcome families that want to explore the advantages of learning German with arms wide open, regardless of their familiarity with German culture. Our students have the unique opportunity to achieve the main German proficiency certifications during their time at Elementary School II and high school, as well as the crucial Cambridge English exams of different levels. This journey transforms them into authentic global citizens with valuable language skills to stand out in today’s world.

And that’s not all! At Colégio Cruzeiro, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our language immersions are exciting moments of interaction, games and play, in which students are challenged to speak only in German. On these special occasions, which take place in the 5th grade of the Elementary School I and in the 7th and 9th grades of Elementary School II, they take part in real conversational situations on relevant everyday topics, consolidating what they have learned in the classroom throughout the year.

And the culmination of this unforgettable journey is the Study Trip to Germany, reserved exclusively for High School students. For two weeks, students are hosted by German families, attend local schools and immerse themselves in German culture. This enriching experience culminates in a week of cultural experience in the country, providing students with a complete immersion and preparation for the internationally recognized DSD 2 certification, which they will take at the end of High School.

At Colégio Cruzeiro, we are committed to offer a quality education that prepares students for the real world. Through teaching German and our immersion experiences, we are building a bright future for our students, empowering them to become successful global citizens.

Join us on this journey to professional and personal success. Enroll in Colégio Cruzeiro today and discover the power of mastering German in an increasingly fluid and interconnected world.

We are a school with an emphasis on foreign languages.

In addition to fluency in German, we offer a strong and distinctive English teaching. We are the school that most often certifies English language proficiency, with 100% of our students achieving Cambridge University Certification by the end of High School.

We have experienced teachers, quality teaching materials and a library full of books and media in German, English and Portuguese. This is how we prepare our students to become true global citizens.

We offer an enriched educational experience that transforms the school day into a learning journey. The extended timetable allows our students to explore their potential to the fullest, experiencing a dynamic and planned routine to encourage language learning, the use of technology and the practice of sports activities, in a safe and welcoming environment.

With this differential, students have more opportunities to develop their skills, strengthen friendships and immerse themselves in creative and collaborative projects. At Colégio Cruzeiro, extended timetable becomes one more opportunity to provide solid academic training, combined with the social and emotional development of students.

This proposal was designed to provide comprehensive and transformative learning, reflecting Colégio Cruzeiro’s commitment to educational excellence and the well-being of our students. Come and join us in this experience!
