Curricula
There are 24 international schools in Brazil covering 15 curricula. The most widely offered are IB (DP) (21), Bespoke Curriculum (14), American Curriculum (9), IB (PYP) (8), IB (MYP) (7). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.
Fees & what they cover
Annual tuition across Brazil runs from about BRL 300 to BRL 159,125, averaging roughly BRL 97,516. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.
Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Brazil run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
Most schools here are day schools; check individual profiles for any boarding options.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Brazil we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
