Cognia Accreditation

Dear fathers, mothers and guardians,


It is with great enthusiasm that we announce that we have been certified once again by Cognia, a renowned American institution dedicated to promoting academic excellence in schools in the United States, Europe and around the world. This re-accreditation is valid for the next six years and comes at a special moment as we are celebrating our 25th anniversary!
The Cognia certification internationally recognizes the quality of teaching and learning offered by EDF. This rigorous process provides us with important indicators in several aspects and place us prominently in the global ranking of bilingual schools. Furthermore, ou graduated students receive a recognized diploma from the United States, accepted by international universities.
Since 2006, striving for excellence has been part of our fundation, and we have successfully participated in rigorous accreditation processes, demonstrating our continuous commitment to educational excellence.
This week, we received a visit from a team of three Cognia evaluators. They conducted a thorough assessment of all the quality indicators of our institution, from the operational aspects to the most complex issues related to our pedagogical approach and educational philosophy. The group observed more than 80 classes, performed interviews with parents, students and staff members, and analyzed numerous documents and reports produced during an intense period of preparation by our leadership team.
This achievement is the result of the commitment and dedication of our teachers, the unwavering support of every team member, the undeniable partnership of our parents and the unique brilliance of our students. We are immensely grateful to everyone who spared no effort to ensure the re-accreditation granted for this further period.
We reaffirm our commitment to families in providing an academically excelente and bilingual education, based on solid Christian principles, and always seeking the continuous improvement of our processes. We will keep advancing, united in the purpose of being the second home of our students and our entire team, where the construction of knowledge and character is done every day!
We express our deep gratitude to all of you, as this achievement would not have been possible without the support and collaboration of each one.
Thank you all!
“The Lord has done great things for us; because of which we are glad.” (Psalm 126:3)
