On Wednesday, September 6th, the EARJ Brazilian Department, organized an amazing celebration in honor of the Brazilian Independence Day. Between both campuses, students, teachers and staff engaged in historical skits, singing popular Brazilian songs in a school-wide, green, yellow and blue celebration. The highlight of this amazing day was to see our multicultural students stand together and sing the Brazilian Anthem in an unique voice. Feliz Dia da Independência!
The Class of 1987 granted EARJ the joy of reviving amazing memories this past Sunday, June 2, 2017.
In the event of their 30 year reunion, the ’87 Alumni spent their morning at the EARJ Gávea Campus with family and friends, virtually welcomed by Mr. Nigel Winnard, our new Head of School.
During this reunion, every step they took throughout campus triggered a new memory or story that was shared with laughter and joy. Amazement came with the discoveries of innovative learning spaces and modern academic curriculum as they re-discovered their beloved school.
Upon their arrival, they were surprised by a letter written 30 years ago by their beloved, former Head of School, Dr. Brown. In this letter Dr. Brown wrote*, “…Perhaps you are now reading this in the year 2017, or later, 30 years after you have completed the few moments, that one grain in the immensity of the sands of time of Rio beaches, we spent together… As I write this (…) I long to repeat the golden days we passed in unity of spirit and purpose. I can but wish you Godspeed on your journey. May you feel that EA has helped you as you go.” It was indeed a morning of laughters and remembrance.
On behalf of EARJ we would like to express our immense gratitude for YOU, EARJ Alumni Community. You are essential to our identity and we wish to see all of you “back” here on campus.

Congratulations, Class of ’87!!
