Academic
The highest academic standards are upheld at St. Paul’s School, and pupils are encouraged to reflect on their own learning and monitor their own progress. Pupils, parents and teachers work together effectively to support pupils’ achievements, meaning that they leave us equipped to enter the best universities in Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States through participation in international public examinations.
The school provides a carefully structured, integrated and diversified curriculum. This not only prepares pupils for examinations but also develops the key skills for success beyond school: numeracy, literacy, critical analysis, problem solving, mental agility and creativity.
We provide pupils with rich and varied contexts to acquire, develop and apply their knowledge and skills.
At St. Paul’s, the curriculum is designed to stimulate independent thinking and a lifelong passion for learning and intellectual life in its broadest sense.
