Our Global Essence

Fachada da GIS São Paulo com bandeiras internacionais em frente à escola internacional

In São Paulo — one of the most multicultural metropolises in the world — our school fosters an atmosphere of academic excellence and intercultural dialogue. With families from over 26 nationalities, we offer a diverse school experience where each student is guided with care and purpose throughout their journey.

We are part of the GIS – Group of International Schools Suisse, an educational network with campuses in Lugano, Monza, and São Paulo, united by a commitment to a global, rigorous, and deeply human education.

We follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, internationally recognized for its academic rigor and for developing students who are inquisitive, resilient, and aware of their role in the world.

More than preparing students for the future, we nurture the present — with genuine relationships, active listening, and a thoughtful approach to each student's holistic development.
