Introduction

Colégio Brasil Canadá is a bilingual school in São Paulo serving ages 0 to 18, offering a blend of Canadian and Brazilian curricula. English is the language of instruction from day one, with Portuguese gradually integrated into the curriculum across the Perdizes campus and the wider network. The program aligns with BNCC requirements for bilingual schools and uses proprietary courseware, complemented by Cambridge English and National Geographic Learning resources. From early years through middle school, students engage in interdisciplinary projects that foster critical thinking, social and cognitive development, and ethical, democratic behavior. The aim is to develop global citizens fluent in two languages who can think and adapt in diverse contexts. The Perdizes campus features two entrances—one for Early Childhood and one for Elementary—for safety. Modern technology, including iPads, supports learning.
