What are the schools in Brazil like?

"There are not many choices of schools here in Brasilia with an American curriculum. Last year this school was terrible. This year with a new headmaster, the school seems to be improving. I still believe it needs alot of improvement with the curriculum. I would say if I had to rate this school, (I can only speak for the lower school) it is adequate, but not great," commented one expat when asked about Escola Americana Brasilia in Brasilia.

"Brazil is home to some of the most renowned international and bilingual schools. One of the best international schools in Brazil is the Graded American School of Sao Paulo (GRADED) which provides education to students from preschool (known as Píer) to high school. GRADED offers a world-class academic program that encourages the development of global competencies and the mastery of languages, such as English, Spanish, and Portuguese, as well as technology and innovation in the classroom. Another well-known international school in Brazil is the International School of São Paulo (ISSP). ISSP is a non-profit, nonsectarian school that provides an education to students from preschool to high school. At ISSP, teachers and staff use the International Baccalaureate Program to challenge and develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In addition to international schools, Brazil has excellent bilingual schools that provide an education in both Portuguese and English, such as the Escola Mundo Verde (EMV). EMV is a private school that offers Kindergarten to 5th grade with a bilingual curriculum in both Portuguese and English. They also focus on fostering creativity and problem solving in each of the subjects they teach," remarked one expat living in with children attending .
