British Curriculum International Schools in São Paulo, Brazil

British-curriculum international schools in São Paulo typically teach in English and follow strands of the English National Curriculum, preparing students for Cambridge IGCSEs and, at upper levels, A-levels or the International Baccalaureate depending on the school. Portuguese is taught as a subject in nearly all schools (often as a compulsory option for Brazilian nationals or as Portuguese as an additional language), and many schools also offer Spanish and additional language support. Fees for international schools in São Paulo are among the highest in Latin America; typical annual tuition at international schools in the city most often falls in the mid-to-high tens of thousands of reals, with a broad range between lower-cost options and premium schools. Families should plan admissions well ahead of arrival because the Brazilian school year normally begins in late January or early February and popular schools run competitive, sometimes rolling, entry processes for relocating pupils.
