Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro - Barra da Tijuca

We are proud to be the first accredited American international school in Rio de Janeiro. For more than 85 years we have worked with thousands of expatriate and Brazilian families seeking a world-class American international education that equips their children with the qualifications, skills and attitudes required to be happy and successful wherever their path in life takes them. Each year our students are accepted to the world’s best universities, becoming part of an interconnected EARJ alumni community that spans the globe.

However, an EARJ education is not just a passport to life after school. At EARJ we believe in the value of each day in a young person’s life and educational journey. EARJ is a happy school, a characteristic that is profoundly important to us. We want each day to be happy and successful for each child, full of wonderful memories that sustain them as they grow, and from which they learn as they work through the challenges and opportunities of childhood into adulthood.

For more than 85 years, EARJ has welcomed thousands of International and Brazilian families seeking an all-English American international education, focused on providing the necessary tools for students to be academically, socially and emotionally successful wherever their path in life takes them.

Small classrooms enable an opportunity for individualized student attention and differentiated instruction.

The diverse EARJ community, with over 30 different nationalities, provides a rich international learning setting in a multicultural experience. Along with the American curriculum and a nurturing environment, it cultivates self-esteem and teaches students the responsibilities of global citizenship.

The common language adopted at EARJ is English. All classes are taught in English with the exception of the Brazilian Diploma Program requirements and Spanish and French foreign language courses.
