Welcome to St. Paul's

Introduction

We are the British school of São Paulo. At St. Paul’s we always strive to be the best we can be. We have the courage of our convictions, essential values, and the freedom to imagine and create. This is achieved through our high-quality British and Brazilian holistic education which drives the personal and academic development of pupils, within a caring, inclusive and united community.
