Colégio Educação Dinâmica

What Colégio Educação Dinâmica does

Colégio Educação Dinâmica is a private K-12 educational institution headquartered at Rua Castelo Branco, 349 in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil, operating continuously since its establishment in November 1979 as Pré-Escola Xodó da Vovó and rebranded in 1985 under the direction of Profª Rosicler Hauagge do Prado. The school is part of the Grupo UDC educational network and delivers education across five core levels — Xodó Educação Infantil, Ensino Fundamental I, Ensino Fundamental II, Ensino Médio, and the High School English Language Program (a dual Brazilian-American diploma track) — serving students from approximately age 2 through college preparation. Tuition is structured as monthly recurring fees across subscription tiers per educational level, with specific pricing withheld behind a contact-based sales motion via website, WhatsApp, phone and on-campus appointments.

The school's technology and content backbone is a 30-year partnership with Sistema Positivo de Ensino, providing the Positivo On digital learning platform, the Portal do Aluno for grades and billing, and a standardized curriculum. It layers a differentiated ecosystem of international and enrichment programs on top: Harvard HealthLab Accelerator (H2A) creativity and entrepreneurship cohort, Texas Tech University dual diploma, University of East London Summer Schools, Disney International Programs work-study at UCF, Cambridge English certification, IBM SkillsBuild digital skills, and the Escola da Inteligência socio-emotional curriculum based on Dr. Augusto Cury's methodology. The technology stack is primarily third-party integrated (Positivo On, LabXchange, Teachable Machine, Kahoot) rather than proprietary.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and single-campus: families in the Foz do Iguaçu tri-border region (Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay) enroll directly, with marketing conducted through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and the school's website. Revenue is generated almost entirely from monthly tuition fees, supplemented by fees for the international program and exchange experiences. The institution is privately held by Profª Rosicler Hauagge do Prado, who also serves as Reitora (Chancellor) of UDC, and has no external PE/VC ownership or public listing.
