Excellent teaching at Colégio Integral: More than just an entrance exam, it's preparation for life!

High school is often associated with preparation for the ENEM (National High School Exam) and university entrance exams, but this phase goes far beyond the tests. Experts warn that reducing this stage to a path of merely completing high school is to underestimate the impact this phase has on young people's academic, personal, and professional lives.

According to data from the Ministry of Education (MEC), schools with higher ENEM scores also record high student success rates in higher education. This demonstrates that student performance in high school not only reflects immediate acceptance in university entrance exams, but also the ability to maintain a high level of excellence throughout their academic and professional careers.

Much More Than Just Passing

For Pedro Rodrigues, Director of High School at Colégio Integral, preparing for university entrance exams can be seen as a simulation of the goals and challenges students will face throughout their lives.

"Studying for university entrance exams and the ENEM (National High School Exam) teaches you how to deal with challenges, set goals, and overcome obstacles. These are skills that later become differentiators in your future professional career," he states.

Impact on Professional Careers

Studies by the Ayrton Senna Institute show that young people who develop socio-emotional skills in high school—such as resilience, self-management, planning skills, and study habits—have up to a 20% greater chance of success in their careers. The job market seeks professionals who not only have a degree, but also know how to solve problems, work as a team, and adapt to new environments.

An Investment for Life

Therefore, an excellent high school education goes far beyond a basic curriculum. It is during this phase that values, discipline, and a vision for the future are reinforced. Preparing for the university entrance exam is fundamental and crucial, but the impact of this preparation extends beyond the classroom, impacting academic success, professional performance, and even the way each individual deals with life's challenges.
