Curriculum

Through the  MYP they provide a programme of study that stresses self-discipline, skills and challenging standards, whilst allowing for creativity and self-expression. Some students will have the opportunity to sit International General Certificate of Secondary Education (lGCSE) examinations in selected subjects. This holistic approach will continue into Years 11 and 12 with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, which is accepted by universities worldwide, and which also meets the Brazilian Ensino Medio requirements.
