History
In 1976, Joaquim Augusto Fígaro Roque, Sérgio Salvo Molina Gimeno and Wagner R. Valente founded Anglo Leonardo da Vinci in Osasco. At that time, cursinhos were available primarily in São Paulo only, although Anglo was already establishing other units in São José dos Campos, Santos and Campinas.
At first, it was only a cursinho, but in 1982, a school (also in Osasco) was founded, with high school classes only. In 1988, however, the school was extended to elementary school as well.
In 2005, more units were established in Granja Viana, Taboão da Serra and Alphaville.
