A company that believes in education as a way to change the world

Arco’s mission is to transform the way students learn, by delivering high quality education at scale. With a historical growth of over 35% per year, the company has been expanding its portfolio and its territorial reach, thus progressively delivering more value to a growing number of schools in Brazil.

We develop educational solutions that originate from our own methodology, comprising content of excellence, relevant educational technology, supplemental programs and specialized services.

With solutions focused on all segments of basic education, from kindergarten to high school, we now serve more than 1,360,000 students and 5,400 private schools throughout the country.

Technology and innovation, for more efficiency in management and excellence in education

With complete platforms that interact with the agents of the educational ecosystem, we create tools and methods for students, parents and schools to work together for a more dynamic and effective learning. In this context, technology enters as an important tool to enhance both the management and the pedagogical process of schools, connecting people, generating data and enabling more personalized and adapted learning paths.

Acting that involves, innovates and transforms

Independent business units set the foundation for Arco’s structure. In addition to core solutions and educational platforms that offer content, service and technology to schools, the company also has a complementary bilingual education solution and investments in innovative startups. We are constantly looking for ideas and initiatives to transform education and empower students’ learning.

Arco forms bridges

Building a concept

In the book “The Invisible Cities”, by Italo Calvino, two characters talk:
Marco Polo describes an arch, stone by stone.
-“But what is the stone that supports the arch?” Asks Kublai Khan.
-“The bridge is not supported by this or that stone, but by the curve of the arch that forms it.” Says Marco.
Kublai Khan remains silent, reflecting. Then he adds:
-“Why talk about stones? Only the arch interests me.”
-“Without stones, the arch does not exist.”

"An arch is capable of building bridges, which allows us to cross challenges and reach further, while connecting people, cultures and ideas."
