About St. Nicholas School Alphaville
We are an inclusive and friendly school, with an emphasis on the community. We believe in partnership with the families, and provide a range of community events and information sessions. We are an IB Continuum School, offering three programmes of the International Baccalaureate. The school values of respect, integrity, commitment, belonging, and international-mindedness guide our mission and our vision for our school community. Another defining characteristic of St. Nicholas School is our House system, a vibrant tradition that strengthens school spirit, inspires joyful and healthy competition, and nurtures a deep sense of belonging. Each year, students from Grade 2 onward travel to the Sao Paulo countryside together for a four-day experience of inter-House challenges and competitions, one of the most anticipated and cherished moments of the school year.
