Our Program
Transforming lives in Brazil through education
Impact students, teachers, public administrators, and school networks
We produce evidence-based knowledge that leads to the development of new educational projects. Through partnerships with public school systems, we provide training and substantial materials to help disseminate these solutions among students.
In three decades of work, we have reached over 36 million students across Brazil. We have been active in all 27 federal units and more than 3,000 cities, accelerating educational outcomes by 3 to 10 times in over a thousand municipalities.
About Institute
F1 pilot Ayrton Senna dreamed of a country where everyone could experience victory and have more opportunities. In 1994, his family carried forward his vision by founding the Ayrton Senna Institute, with the mission of transforming the country through education. By improving the development of millions of students, the Ayrton Senna Institute has become a leader in advocating for comprehensive quality education and collaborates with organizations like the OECD, UNESCO, and USP chairs focused on innovation in education and human development. We operate across all corners of Brazil, promoting effective transformation.
