About international schools in São Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo has one of Latin America’s largest concentrations of international schools, serving both expatriate and Brazilian families with a broad mix of IB, British, American and several European national curricula. Most schools teach primarily in English, but bilingual Portuguese - English programmes are common and there are a number of French, German and other heritage-language campuses; Portuguese is usually taught as a core subject and some schools also deliver the Brazilian curriculum alongside an international pathway. Annual tuition varies by age and school: aggregated fee data show a typical tuition around R$97,000 a year with many schools clustering roughly between R$86,000 and R$132,000, while lower-cost bilingual options and a small number of premium campuses widen the band. The Brazilian academic year runs broadly February - December, so the main intake and contract cycles centre on a February start; schools will accept mid-year transfers when places open but priority year groups often fill many months in advance, so families usually begin enquiries well before their move.
