Our vibrant co-educational, day school has an international enrolment of over 2000 students from more than 60 different nationalities ranging from the ages of 2 to 18 years. Our programme of study is delivered in English and is based on the UK National Curriculum and the IPC programmes (for 2 to 14 year olds), Cambridge IGCSE examinations (for 14 to 16 year olds) and the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma (for 16 to 18 year olds). In recognition of our location and host country we integrate aspects of Brazilian culture, language and education into our programme which ultimately fulfils the requirements of the Brazilian Diploma. Our graduating students enter universities and colleges around the world, principally in the UK, North America, and Europe and, of course, Brazil.The British School, Rio de Janeiro operates as a non-profit organisation. As such, the school continually invests in well-qualified staff and their training, curriculum development, resources, technology and infrastructure, including new buildings and equipment. Since 2000, The British School has expanded to incorporate 3 separate sites within Rio de Janeiro: a unit in Zona Sul (split into two sites: Botafogo and Urca) and a unit in Barra – the Paul Wiseman Campus.
