The British School of Brasilia (BSB)

Welcome to The British School of Brasilia (BSB), a proud school part of The British Schools Foundation (BSF)!

Our curriculum is unique in design and has been developed and refined for almost two decades, drawing on the experience and expertise of BSF in establishing successful schools all over the world.

It is aspirational, inspiring pupils to flourish both personally and academically and designed with three key outcomes in mind:

Strong Academic Foundations

To provide pupils with the strong academic foundations on which educational and professional success are built.

Decision Making

To equip pupils with the experience and confidence to make effective decisions that shape their environment.

Character

To guide pupils towards personal character traits that will serve them well and enable them to contribute positively to their community.

The English National Curriculum (ENC) is a starting point for our curriculum but we go well beyond its limitations. Our Integrated Curriculum places additional focus on developing the personal attributes of our pupils, fully preparing them for the rigours of the formal examinations that they will take from Year 10 upwards.

Success in these essential formal qualifications will provide a clear pathway to the best universities in the world.'

One of our core beliefs is that every individual can and will succeed at our school.  We adopt an uncompromising approach for all pupils to achieve the highest standards of attainment in the core curriculum subjects of English, Maths, Portuguese and Science.  Our programme is designed to support proficiency in both English and Portuguese, ensuring a high level of competency and confidence in both languages.

While the development of knowledge and skills is crucial, we place an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking, consolidating the ability of pupils to work independently and collaboratively.

Pupils who complete their education at BSB will achieve qualifications and qualities that enable them to compete for places at the best universities worldwide and fulfill their personal and professional aspirations.
