Introduction

The International School of São Paulo (GIS) is part of the GIS Group of International Schools Suisse and is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP). It serves ages 2 to 11 and delivers a bilingual, inquiry-based education with English and Portuguese as languages of instruction. In the Early Years, learning follows the Reggio Emilia approach, emphasizing curiosity, respect for childhood, and the protagonism of children. In the Primary Years, students explore reading, writing, math and science through interdisciplinary projects linked to real-life experiences, with language as the medium for learning. The curriculum fosters autonomy and responsibility while developing a global perspective and critical thinking for engagement beyond the classroom. Authorized for the PYP since 2021, GIS integrates IB principles with a strong emphasis on multilingualism, collaboration, and real-world application. After-school activities are available through Rent a Pro from 16:00 to 16:50, complementing daily learning and wellbeing initiatives.

Fees
Summary statement

Specific, itemised fee amounts for the 2026/27 academic year (and, where unavailable, for 2025/26) are not published publicly by GIS – The International School of São Paulo.

Application / registration fees

- No public figure for an application or registration fee is published for this school.

Tuition fees (by year group and per term / per year)

- The school does not publish a detailed tuition schedule showing amounts by year group or per term.
- A third‑party school directory lists an indicative annual range for day pupils of approximately R$100,000–R$110,000; this appears as a broad guide and is not a published, itemised school fee schedule. Use of this range as a specific fee by year group or per term is not supported by a school‑published fee table.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- No school‑published billing schedule (for example: annual, termly, or monthly instalments) or published payment‑term conditions (due dates, late‑payment penalties) are publicly available.

Boarding fees

- GIS SP operates as a day school; boarding provision and boarding fees are not applicable.

Other costs and extras (uniform, books, meals, transport, ECAs, exams, etc.)

- There is no public, itemised list of compulsory extras (uniform, books, meals, transport) with prices.
- Extracurricular activities (ECAs) are delivered in part through a third‑party partner (Rent a Pro); those activities carry separate prices set by the partner.

Refund information

- No publicly available refund policy or published details about refunds for withdrawal, term‑time departures, or cancelled enrolments were found.

Fee payment options

- The school has not published a public list of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, local payment slip, credit card). For direct enquiries, use the school contact details below.

Practical contact details for a fee enquiry

- Email: info@issaopaulo.com.br. Phone: (11) 93027‑5746. Address: Alameda dos Jurupis, 485, Moema, São Paulo. Use these contacts to request the current, itemised 2026/27 or 2025/26 fee schedule directly from the school administration.

Brief note on availability

- Public, itemised fee figures for 2026/27 (and for 2025/26 where 2026/27 is unavailable) were not posted on the school's public pages or on the major international‑school directories consulted; a third‑party directory gives only a broad annual range for day pupils (R$100,000–R$110,000). For definitive, itemised amounts (application fee, tuition by year group, per‑term breakdown, billing schedule, payment options, refunds), request the school's official fee schedule from the contacts above.
