Open campus policies are more common in North American high schools and universities than in Brazil. In Brazil, most schools maintain more restrictive policies regarding student movement during school hours. The concept represents a trust-based approach to student independence and is often associated with more progressive educational institutions. In the USA, open campus policies are typically granted to upper-level students (juniors and seniors) as a privilege and sign of maturity.
