The school is small, which makes it have a cosy atmosphere.

Extra curricular activities are given either by teachers or students (older students) which includes sports. Like trampolining, football, volleyball, handball, basketball and rugby.

Offers native language classes, including Korean, Spanish and some others. Also, it offers support for the children who will need, like English as an Additional Language, which I find very helpful for the children. Also curriculum support (general) which qualified teachers help students with their homework, preparing for tests, etc. because some don't know English well, and need help from teachers for preparations.

There is a parent teacher organization. Members usually help local charities and institutions, and they prepare special events for school, like International Day and Festa Junina (Brazilian national festival). The parent teacher organization meets every while.

- Very good school, support students who need. - Is not a competetive school, but instead, tries to help everybody achieve what they want to achieve.
