"Don't do it!! Discrimination is the name of the game the Brazilians play at EAB. They pay a little more than $6,000 U.S. equivalent, while internationals and Americans pay $18,000 U.S. per year. The political climate is such that the US Embassy (the organization which chartered the school) will neither support parent and student desires to have a good education, nor the changes necessary to attain the same. Internationals, other than Americans, are forced to pay in US Dollars (which means they must somehow convert their money), while Brazilians pay in Reais. In short, you'll be paying big bucks to subsidize the affluent Brazilians' education, while your children receive a marginal education at best. It's not enough we foot the bill for the school, but when something like 9-11 occurs, it's totally permissible for the Brazilian students to tell the American students, "You Americans got what you deserve!" If we had known the truth about the school situation, which the Office of Overseas Schools works very hard to suppress, we never would have come here," commented one expat when asked about Escola Americana, Brasilia (EAB) in Brasilia.
