When we asked about the schools in Brasilia, they said...

"The International School of Brasilia (ISB) is one of the best international schools in Brasilia. It is an independent, non-profit, co-educational day school offering an international curriculum for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. ISB is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school offers a rigorous academic program that prepares students for success in college and beyond. ISB also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, art, and drama. The British School of Brasilia (BSB) is another excellent international school in Brasilia, Brazil. It is an independent, co-educational day school offering an international curriculum for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. BSB is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school offers a rigorous academic program that prepares students for success in college and beyond. BSB also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, art, and drama. The American School of Brasilia (EAB) is a bilingual school in Brasilia, Brazil. It is an independent, co-educational day school offering an American curriculum for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. EAB is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school offers a rigorous academic program that prepares students for success in college and beyond. EAB also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, art, and drama," remarked one expat living in Brasilia with children attending .

"It is a wonderful school. My kids wanted to stay there. We moved on to another country, and the first school we enrolled our kids in couldn't begin to compare with EAB. We had to move them, but EAB is the standard for us. In the past EAB had conflicts, apparently between some xenophobic Americans and Brazilians, judging by the other comments posted here. Wow, if you hate foreigners that much don't go overseas! The Brazilians were nothing but welcoming and accomodating to our kids from start to finish. Two points worth mentioning - EAB is really doing amazing things with community service/service learning. It is a real priority of the school, and the SL cooridnator is simply amazing. Also, my kids benefited a lot from the culture of performing - everyone at EAB performs sometime - in school plays, music recitals, art shows, forensics, choir, 5th grade graduation... it is a great way to build self confidence," said one expat in Brasilia with children at Escola Americana de Brasilia.
