What schools everywhere must learn

When Leticia Lyle opened Camino School in São Paulo, she was not just starting a school. She was building a path - one where relationships, values and learning all held equal weight. In this episode of the EdVance Podcast, Leticia reflects on what the world can learn from Brazil’s classrooms. Her story is as much about courage as it is about design. From opening Camino just days before the pandemic to shaping a curriculum where social-emotional learning sits alongside academic rigour, she shows that education can be both deeply human and highly practical. She also speaks about the hard choices leaders must make. It looks at what it means to hold on to your principles when the model is tested, how to balance the demands of budgets and rules with the deeper work of care and connection, and how to ensure that everyone feels seen. This episode provides answers to some of the hardest questions school leaders face today.
