International Curriculum International Schools in Brazil

International-curriculum schools in Brazil typically offer the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP), British programmes (Cambridge Primary/IGCSE/A-Level) and US-style curricula (American diploma and AP options), and some campuses combine an international programme with the national Brazilian diploma. Instruction is commonly English-led with Portuguese taught daily; many schools expect students to study Portuguese and will include Brazilian curriculum components for families who want to keep university options in Brazil open. Most international schools are concentrated in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília and Curitiba, and annual tuition varies widely by city and school - smaller bilingual or nursery programmes can start in the tens of thousands of reais, many mid-market schools in major cities commonly charge in the R$80,000 - R$130,000-per-year band, and premium campuses can exceed R$200,000 a year. Admissions normally follow either the local Brazilian February - December calendar or an August - June northern-hemisphere calendar, so ask each school about intake months, assessment dates and whether they run rolling admissions for mid-year arrivals.
