The School provides a carefully structured, integrated and diversified curriculum in which the skills of independent learning and co-operation with others are developed, and children's individual needs are of prime concern.

Our aims and methods, within the context of a bilingual and bicultural working environment, are to enable pupils to realise their full academic, artistic, cultural and sporting potential while promoting personal moral development, by:

Academic Development:

1. Benefiting from a broad-based education and developing knowledge and understanding of the world through language, mathematics, science, the humanities, the arts and sport;
    
2. Developing an awareness of academic rigour, the need for independent thinking, study and learning, and good organisational skills through research, observation and application of academic course content;
    
3. Developing the ability to co-operate and work in groups;
    
4. Monitoring their own progress through continuous assessment and examinations, ensuring close co-operation between pupils, parents and teachers;
    
5. Entering the best universities in Brazil and Britain or in any other country through participation in international public examinations.

The School's curriculum contributes to the development of each pupil's sense of identity through knowledge and understanding of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural heritages of our diverse society and of the local, national and global dimensions of their lives. It encourages pupils to appreciate human aspirations and achievements in aesthetic, scientific, technological and social fields, and prompts a personal response to a range of experiences and ideas.

By providing rich and varied contexts for pupils to acquire, develop and apply a broad range of knowledge, understanding and skills, the School's curriculum enables pupils to think creatively and critically, to solve problems and to make a difference for the better. It gives them the opportunity to become creative, innovative, enterprising and capable of leadership to equip them for their future lives as workers and citizens. It also develops their physical skills and encourages them to recognise the importance of pursuing a healthy lifestyle and keeping themselves and others safe.

The curriculum of the School is comprised of three main courses which are integrated into a single curriculum, i.e. the Brazilian Core Curriculum, the British National Core Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. These are supported by a wide variety of artistic, cultural and sporting extra-curricular activities, field courses and pastoral care.

The Headmaster has membership of two UK organisations: Headmasters' Conference (HMC) and the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS). He is also a member of the Latin American Heads' Conference (LAHC).  The School is also an Affiliate of the Council of British International Schools (COBIS).
