What Colegio C.C.M. does

Colégio C.C.M. (legal name Colégio CCM; also doing business as Colégio Carmo Mangia) is a privately held, single-campus K-12 private school founded in 1999 in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The school delivers a continuous educational pathway from Educação Infantil (preschool, ages 0-5) through Ensino Médio (high school), plus an MEC-certified EJA evening program for youth and adults, all aligned to Brazil's BNCC national curriculum base. Its differentiated offerings include the 'Inglês Diário' (Daily English) program running five weekly classes from Kindergarten through 9th grade with Cambridge University certification preparation and Oxford University Press materials, a project-based learning methodology (Feira Pedagógica), the Escola Azul environmental education initiative, Pré-Vestibular exam preparation, a Pilares e Competências character framework, and extracurricular activities in capoeira, futsal, karate, rhythmic gymnastics, and dance.

The school's technology footprint is limited and largely third-party: it operates an Adeweb (Edutec) learning management system for teacher and student portals, uses WhatsApp, phone, email, and web visit-scheduling forms for enrollment inquiries, and maintains an Instagram and Facebook presence alongside a content blog. There is no proprietary AI/ML capability, no public API, and no app. Operations are direct-to-consumer with no third-party distribution or franchise channels.

The business model is a recurring tuition-based subscription with monthly billing cycles, generating all revenue from enrollment fees across the school levels; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The school is founder-owned and operated with no disclosed parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investment, and shows no M&A, funding, or external capital activity in the available data. Geographic footprint is limited to the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region.
