I completed high school in the school named "Escola Caetano de Campos", at Republic Square, in Downtown São Paulo, Brazil. Eu completei o ginásio na "Escola Caetano de Campos", situada na Praça da República, em São Paulo. (I did the same post in December 05, 2009, but I've added more two pictures).

Like an island of grace and calm in the middle of skyscrapers, beautiful!
Looks like a good place to get an education even if it is in the middle of so much business.

Linda escola e como é bom voltar nos antigos colégios,né? um beijo,linda semana!chica
The city's architecture and the oasis in the middle of it all take my breath away.
What a gorgeous school! Did you go back recently? The last time I visited my primary school, I found everything was NOT as I remembered. It all looked a lot smaller, for a start!
Are the aerial shots taken from a helicopter? I understand it's quite common for people in a hurry to get around in Sao Paulo by chopper. I guess they must be RICH people in a hurry lol! ;)

That looks like an amazing high school, mine was an incredibly ugly building.
Sonia, these beautiful images well describe the elegant school you attended, a real oasis in the green among the skyscrapers. Nice the interiors too.
Have a pleasant day!
Such a nice shaped public school! Easy to spot from the air.
Such a BEAUTIFUL Building, my dear Sonia....And I am always awed by how huge San Paolo is---That curved building is so very fantastic---If I remember correctly, isn't that the Building that is so BIG it has it's own Zip Code? MAGNIFICENT!!!!
Yes, you are right my dear Naomi!
Copan, that curved building due to the large number of residents, the city hall gave the building its own ZIP code.
More informations about this amazing building:

Wow so much different from my old school
Oh my! What marvellous pictures of the city and that curved building is very impressive!
I hope your memories of your school days are happy memories. i loved going to school, but for some people, school was a very hard time.
Uma bela cidade ,São Paulo enorme um gigante de pedra.
E a Escola ,uma linda lembrança Sonia.
Excelentes .

Lovely school Sonia!! I am always amazed by the architecture in Sao Paulo and the many wonderful buildings there. I would love to visit that city someday! I was just reading the comment about the curved building having it's own zip code. I don't think I'd want to live in that huge building!! It is quite amazing though!!
What an amazing building!
Ah, I went back to look at the old photos to compare. What a gorgeous old building, It's fantastic that the city rose up around your high school and all that green space was preserved.
My high school was Rhodes Prep located on E. 54th Street in NYC. It was a townhouse with an elevator converted into a high school. Our "chief" was Mr. Merril of Merril, Lynch, Fenner and Smith. I met some people there who affected my live in not the best ways..imagine walking down the stairwell and meeting someone who would never let go...sometimes you never know who you meet. Those days were fun!!I used to cut classes and go to Tiffany's and Central Park and hang out. I miss Dr. Lawrence, headmaster of Rhodes. xoxoxoxoMelanie
