THE MASTERY PROGRAM

Facilitating purposeful, self-driven learning

The ultimate in personalized learning, the Mastery Program supports students to first identify and then pursue an area of passionate interest over multiple years. Guided by expert mentors, students work at a depth not usually seen until college–or beyond.

INTEGRATED SCIENCE

Developing scientific habits of mind

Students are trained to think and behave like scientists and engineers as they probe some of the most pressing questions facing mankind. Topics include the environment, communication, adaptation, and energy resources.

DEANS AND COLLEGE COUNSELING

A proven path to top colleges in Brazil and overseas

Our world-class college counseling program supports students to chart a bold course towards higher education, whether in Brazil or overseas. We provide 1:1 guidance throughout the college process from expert college counselors who also serve as deans.

DUAL DIPLOMA

An integrated Brazilian program

We take Brazilian educational standards as seriously as we do international ones. From grade 1 onwards, we incorporate the Brazilian national curricular components of Portuguese into our language program, and distribute Brazil-specific content from other subjects across our curriculum. Having attained balanced mastery of both languages by graduation, all students are awarded both a Brazilian and American diploma.
