American Curriculum International Schools in São Paulo, Brazil

American-curriculum international schools in São Paulo generally follow U.S. grade levels and instruction in English, often with Portuguese taught as a compulsory local language and additional support for learners of English. Many schools combine a U.S.-style programme with options such as Advanced Placement courses or an international diploma in the upper years, and they vary widely in size, campus location and extracurricular provision. Annual tuition varies considerably by school and grade but commonly sits in a broad band from roughly R$70,000 up to around R$190,000 a year, with additional charges for registration, transport, technology and activities. Admissions usually follow São Paulo’s school calendar (year starts in February/March) so families begin visits and applications in the months before the school year and can also request mid-year entry where places exist.
