1. First contact and welcome
We learn about the student’s educational path, the family’s expectations, and their alignment with the educational model.
Family partnership
A welcoming admissions process that builds shared agreements from the first meeting.
Family and school: shared responsibility
Joining Floresta de Vida allows families to learn about the model while our team understands each student’s strengths, needs, and support requirements. The goal is to confirm that we can build a pathway of well-being, learning, and autonomy together.
2. Comprehensive understanding of the student
We explore their developmental history, ways of learning, strengths, interests, and support needs.
3. Classroom partnership experience
The student participates in a real learning context to experience the environment and allow us to observe interaction and participation.
4. Information integration
Teachers, specialists, and school leadership jointly analyze observations and the conditions required for support.
5. Agreements and support pathway
We define the outcome, enrollment pathway, required support, shared commitments, and follow-up.
