IB Curriculum International Schools in Brazil

International Baccalaureate (IB) schools in Brazil form a varied group that commonly offer one or more IB programmes - Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and the Diploma Programme (DP) - often as part of a bilingual Portuguese - English pathway and sometimes alongside national-diploma options. Provision is concentrated in major cities such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, and schools range from modest regional day schools to high-fee urban campuses, so annual tuition can vary widely by city, age and boarding options. Admissions typically require an application, records and an assessment or interview and families frequently apply several months before the intended start date because popular schools operate waiting lists. Relocating families should check a school’s language support, whether it issues or helps validate a Brazilian diploma, transport and sibling discounts, and the stage-by-stage programme (PYP/MYP/DP) a school is authorised to deliver.
