Canadian-curriculum international schools in Brazil range from large Canadian-methodology preschool chains to full K - 12 schools that combine Brazilian requirements with Canadian provincial programmes (some schools award an Ontario Secondary School Diploma alongside the Brazilian certificate). Instruction is commonly English-first with regular Portuguese lessons and, in many cases, explicit alignment to Brazil’s national framework (BNCC) so students meet local graduation rules while building English fluency. Fees vary widely by type and city: bilingual preschools and franchise units are often priced in the mid-private sector, while independent K - 12 Canadian schools in São Paulo, Brasília and other major cities typically sit considerably higher, especially for secondary years. Most schools follow the Brazilian academic calendar (the school year normally begins in February and runs to December), enrolment campaigns open several months before the year starts and older entrants usually need language testing and an interview or assessment; relocating families should check diploma pathways, language support and how the school handles mid-year transfers.
