About GIS The International School of São Paulo
We are an IB World School and we offer a modern, challenging and international educational programme according to the standards set by the International Baccalaureate (IB)*. Our language of instruction is English, and we have international teachers in our faculty. Brazilian culture and the Portuguese language are also valued through Portuguese classes and typically Brazilian activities and celebrations. Our academic year follows the northern hemisphere calendar (beginning in August and ending in July). As we are a new international school, opened in 2019, we currently have up to Year 1 ( 6-year olds), but the school has plans to expand. We are opening new grades as our students grow, and in August 2023 we will offer up to Year 2 (7-8 year olds).
