Welcome to St. Paul's
A warm welcome to St. Paul's, where greatness has been in motion since 1926.
As the first school in Latin America to be recognised as a British School Overseas by the UK government, we have just celebrated one hundred years of St. Paul's in São Paulo. Over a century later, we are still building on that foundation with the same ambition.
Our Anglo-Brazilian curriculum brings together the best of both cultures. We're an all-ability, family school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18, and every pupil's journey looks a little different, which is exactly how it should be.
We take pupil wellbeing as seriously as we take academic rigour. Confident, compassionate young people aren't built on results alone; they need to feel known, supported, and genuinely part of something. That sense of belonging, to a form, a team, a community of parents and Old Pauleans across generations, is what turns a school into a Paulean family.
We prepare pupils not just for exams, but for what comes after: leading universities worldwide - in the UK, the US, and Brazil - and a world that will keep changing faster than any curriculum can predict. That's why we keep asking how we teach, not just what we teach. Greatness, after all, is never standing still.
Come and see it for yourself. Book a visit, meet our pupils, and hear directly from them what being a Paulean means to them.
