What Instituto Singularidades does

Instituto Singularidades is a São Paulo-based private higher education institution founded in 2001 and incorporated by Instituto Península in October 2010. It specializes in teacher training and the professional development of education professionals, operating across the full educator lifecycle through undergraduate programs in Pedagogy and Letras, postgraduate programs delivered via EAD (online), semi-presential, and hybrid formats, extension courses, and customized educational projects for institutional clients. Its course catalog spans educational management, bilingual education, digital technologies and new pedagogies, and — via partnership with NAR-SP — sports science. The institution has received the maximum ENADE score of 5 in Pedagogy across three consecutive editions and has trained more than 90,000 professionals through its customized projects division.

The business is built on a dual B2C/B2B model. B2C revenue comes from individual student tuition, with published postgraduate monthly fees ranging from approximately R$120 to R$980 and undergraduate semester fees around R$1,420. B2B revenue derives from contracted customized training programs delivered to public and private school networks and government education departments — the channel through which the 90,000+ cumulative professionals trained figure was generated. Faculty quality is a stated differentiator, with at least 80% of faculty holding master's or doctoral degrees, and the institution operates LabSing, an educational innovation laboratory that functions as a platform for product incubation and applied research. The institution employs 101–250 people and does not disclose revenue or funding history.
