Before anything, passion. The same passion that makes us formulate challenges and create solutions to then transform the world we live in into a better place, attainable for all. A school is a space that is essentially collective.
Since 1975, when it was founded, Móbile has been practicing a democratic and plural education. In our curriculum, we compose different knowledge, coordinated by an experienced pedagogical team who are also dedicated, and, of course, passionate and in constant development. In this sense, we’re proud of our teaching-learning methodologies and our own didactic-pedagogical content of established excellence that balance, with attention and responsibility, tradition and innovation.
Our reality seems to transform itself faster each year and, at Móbile, we’re attentive and ready to follow these changes. A school is also a space of young ideas, concepts and strategies that manifest strength, curiosity and restlessness of the youth which are essential for the discoveries and broadening of knowledge. With this mood, supported by a solid academic foundation, we dialogue with the advancements and reinventions of contemporary education.
In the dialogue, we also find principles of the relationship we establish with each student. Throughout their school trajectory, our educators offer a close and interested orientation in the development of each student, both in academic and socio-emotional terms. We believe that this direction is essential for the development of critical, responsible people who are capable of elaborating and accomplishing their life projects.
Learning, be it social, cultural, artistic, scientific or professional is a product of knowledge; but it’s a product that renews with time, like the conception a person has of themselves and the world and, also, like a mobile. A mobile, it’s worth remembering, is a kinetic sculpture. It’s an object made with movement; it changes all the time, but it also remains always balanced (dynamics) and, so, in harmony.
At Móbile we work, along with our community, to awaken a passion for knowledge by its conception, application and eternal development so that we can, this way, shape people who are more and more restless, accomplished and conscious of their responsibilities and transformation potential.
This is our way to build a better place, attainable for all.

Móbile is built by people with different life trajectories, world visions and academic experiences and who are responsible for a humane pedagogical project, practical and contemporary.

Creator and founder of Móbile School
Maria Helena Bresser is one of the most important and active educators of the country, always relentless in the search for excellence and the appreciation of the science. Since she founded Móbile, in 1975, she has been at the forefront of the school in the constant formulation and reformulation of its curriculum (always attentive to the transformations of time and the world) and in pedagogical and social projects, inspiring the numerous teams she has formed over five decades. "At Móbile, we shape competent, cooperative, and prepared students to develop their life projects with happiness, in a world that, for them, will have no borders. We work so that their stories contribute to the construction of a more ethical, humane, and democratic reality, in which everyone can live with dignity."
Administrator from Getúlio Vargas Foundation and volunteer member of non-governmental social organization councils
Daily present in the political-pedagogical decision making of Móbile for almost 20 years, when he formally entered the school, Daniel Bresser has been contributing in the past two decades to the meaningful broadening of a complex project reach that started in 1975 by his mother, founder of the school. With his rare sensible management skills, responsible and attentive to the needs of his teams, Daniel proudly acts in an area where it’s possible to shape critical, cultured and ethical citizens that allow themselves to cross through contemporary and interfere in it. “The social role of participating in the construction of future leaders – humane, responsible, ethical and worried about the collective – is what moves and inspires me in this great project that is Móbile, projecting its perpetuation.”

For over two decades, Wilton Ormundo has his life merged with the school he chose to help build. One of the main contributions of the educator was the creation of a consistent program for the construction of a rich “cultural library” in the life of his students, and also the improvement of the High School project in which he’s worked with for twenty years. To him, being at Móbile means to have the privilege of seeing the world happening right in front of you and with the possibility of shaping ethical people who’ll make the world a better and bigger place. “Those who work with education believe, more than in any other area, in the full human skill of transforming the world, making it better, thinking about future generations. This is the work that Móbile has been doing for almost 50 years and it marvels me.”
We develop our students’ skills and abilities which allow them to argue with consistency, curate and handle information, to transform them into critical knowledge.
We shape people who know how to work in groups, see the other and their particular needs, valuing the differences and communicating with proficiency, orally and written – essential skills for the work environment
Our students solve and propose problems because they know the local and world questions that cross through the contemporary world and, from early on, are invited to think about their life projects.
Our daily pedagogical practices shape respectful students who don’t fear obstacles and learn to manage emotions to deal with life complications in a healthy way.
Understanding the contemporary world in a critical way, building a society lined with citizenship, ethics and belonging, in which everyone is welcomed, desired, valued and safe, have been the objectives of the educational project of our school for almost 50 years.
Móbile School is an institution that values plurality and, because of it, since 2021, has been broadening in a significant way the formation and actions For an antiracist Móbile, supported by the desire to build an inclusive community fulfilling the Law 10.639/03 from the Guidelines Laws and National Education Base, that pledges the need to include in school curriculums of basic education the ethical-racial relationships and the teaching of history and culture of africans and african-brazilians.
This front of work happens together with the team of educators, partners of Móbile and the school community. We take on our responsibility in the antiracist education with one collective objective, organized in three pillars, in educational and pedagogical actions:
