St Nicholas School serves the families of the city seeking a personal and purposeful learning experience: a unique learning adventure following the programmes of the International Baccalaureate.

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.

Family and nurturing environment, lots of green areas, multicultural background students.

Individual attention and develop global citizens that are ethical, creative and prepared to face the challenges of a constantly changing world.

Builders’ differential is the nurturing, respectful and caring environment that focuses on the children’s emotional and social development. This has been our mission and essence since our foundation: the Education through Love, considered the most efficient way for humans to learn. Children who are treated with respect in a love-filled environment deal better with the needs of the modern world and become adults who are more socially and emotionally capable.
We believe in the transformation of humans through LOVE. Our focus is to educate the child as a whole, not just a formal education. In addition to our excellent bilingual education we strive to be an economically viable, environmentally friendly and socially responsible school, involving our staff, students, and community.
We want our students to love learning, to be in contact with nature, to reflect on their actions and to be in harmony with others. We promote a joy-filled and inviting environment because we believe humans learn better when they are happy.

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).
Our mission is to provide expatriate and local families with an international education that is broad, balanced and challenging.
