Graded School
Graded School

Associação Escola Graduada de São Paulo, most commonly referred to as Graded School or Graded, is an American school in São Paulo, Brazil. The school opened on October 17, 1920, in a small schoolhouse on Avenida São João, and in 1961 the current campus was built on Avenida Giovanni Gronchi, in a terrain now facing the slum of Paraisópolis, located in Morumbi. The school offers education from pre-primary to high school, all offering American-style teaching. The Lower School consists of the Montessori Preprimary program (three years old through Kindergarten). The high school also offers an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and a Brazilian diploma, in addition to the mandatory SACS-accredited American diploma. There are two Advanced Placement courses available: AP Calculus AB and BC. The majority of classes are taught in English, but the school does offer classes in Portuguese, French, and Spanish. Graded's high school offers two to three levels of maths sets per year. The school has 90 classrooms, eight computer labs, an auditorium, an infirmary, two soccer fields, two covered play areas, two gyms, and four science labs. The libraries contain over 50,000 volumes. All graduates receive an American high school diploma. In 2006, the school finished the construction of an arts center. It is a large structure with two floors, but standing as high as a six-floor building. The first floor houses music and theater activities, with an orchestra room, a band room, six practice rooms (two of which contain pianos, and one an electric drum set), a dance studio, a media center for editing film and music, and a black box theater. The second floor is dedicated to the visual arts, and contains several rooms for ceramics, painting, and drawing. The second floor also has a photography room, complete with its own developing facilities. In 2010, the Graded Campus Project was developed. In February 2014, Phase I of the project was completed, with a full renovation of the Lower School Playgrounds and Gymnasiums. In March 2017, Phase II of the Graded Campus Project was inaugurated. It included a new Main Entrance, Parking Garage, Student Center, Large Field, Small Field, Track, Beach Volleyball Court, Wellness Gymnasium, and Maintenance Building. Traditionally more than 95% of the school's graduating class enrolls in a 4-year degree education within one year of graduation.

Alto das Nações

Alto das Nações is a mixed-use real estate complex under construction located in the Granja Julieta neighborhood, in the South Zone of São Paulo. The project, with 320 thousand square meters of private area, houses a shopping center, a mixed-use tower and a Carrefour hypermarket, since the project is a partnership between Carrefour Property (from Grupo Carrefour Brasil) and WTorre, and will house residential and corporate towers, which will be the tallest corporate building in Brazil, at 219 meters high. With the aim of seeking sustainable solutions, it has, among other things, the use of natural light, large living areas and will house more than three hundred native trees in a shaded square. It is expected that around fourteen thousand people will circulate through it per day. The project is divided into three stages, with the first phase having been delivered on December 1, 2022. It will reopen the first Carrefour store in Brazil, a shopping arcade, a mixed-use tower and the shopping center called Paseo Alto das Nações Mall — with a gross leasable area of 5,000 m2 and more than 40 stores, pharmacies, restaurants, a gym, a hair salon, a lottery shop, among others. The second phase of the project, scheduled for 2023, delivered a park and the interconnection of the complex with the Granja Julieta station. In the next stage, the corporate and residential towers will be inaugurated by 2026. The cost of the work is estimated at three billion reais. On May 31, 2025, the corporate tower, still under construction, reached 175 meters in height (out of a total of 219 meters) and became the tallest building in the city of São Paulo.
