What are the schools in Brazil like?

"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," commented one expat when asked about in Brazil.

"If you are coming to Brazil for a 2-year stint and then head back to the US, this school may not make sense for you. If you are a foreigner living or coming to live in Brazil, consider this school. Apart from everything that I have said above, I can say that we love it and are completely satisfied with our little girl's experience. She actually asks to put on her uniform and go to school every day. There is a level of care, love and concern at this school that is unique," explained one expat in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with kids at Escola Bloom.
