The School of the Future of University of São Paulo (Portuguese: Escola do Futuro da Universidade de São Paulo), is a Brazilian interdisciplinary laboratory investigating the impact of new communications technologies on learning at all educational levels.
A great difference from a conventional laboratory is that this really acts working on Education and Technology, more than research.
Due to its growth and increasingly interdisciplinary nature, the school was in 1993 placed under the aegis of the Office of the Dean of Research, where it continues to flourish, having become a financially self-sustaining and independent from the University budget.
The director of the interdisciplinary laboratory, since its inception, was Professor Fredric Litto.
However, since September 2006, the new director of the School of the Future is Professor Brasilina Passarelli.
