By strengthening bonds, Instituto Apontar works with children and adolescents with traits of high abilities/giftedness and low income to guarantee their basic social rights to education and culture.
The institute identifies, selects and supports students with high-ability traits from grades 6 to 9 in the A+ Program, built on academic, social-emotional, and cultural pillars.
Instituto Apontar’s mission is to contribute to the development of the young participants of the programs, enabling them to become agents of transformation for their own lives, their families, and their surroundings.
Participating students are supported by a psychologist, a social worker, an administrative assistant, cultural activators, and the Instituto Apontar leadership team. After school, they take part in supplementary and complementary activities in Portuguese, mathematics, English, technology, life projects, and discovery projects. They also participate in cultural activities such as outings, workshops, hands-on sessions, and talks, expanding their cultural repertoire.
Pioneer Science supports three hubs of the A+ Program in public schools in Rio de Janeiro, developed by Instituto Apontar.
