Salvador’s international-school scene is small but varied: families will find bilingual Portuguese - English schools and a handful of institutions that combine the Brazilian national curriculum with international programmes such as the International Baccalaureate or an American-style diploma. The city’s better-known international schools advertise IB programmes and dual-diploma paths while many private bilingual schools focus on early years and primary education in Portuguese with intensive English. Reported monthly fees at the most expensive international/private schools in Salvador have recently been cited in local reporting as approaching R$8,000 - R$9,000 for senior grades, and most schools also charge enrolment or reservation fees plus extras for meals, transport and activities. Expect the local admissions rhythm to follow the Brazilian school year (roughly February - December): apply in the months before the new school year, prepare academic records, identification and, where required, language assessments, and budget for a reservation or first-month payment to secure a place.
