The British College of Brazil (BCB), part of the Nord Anglia Education family, is an international school in São Paulo offering education for students aged 2 to 18, from Early Years through to the IB Diploma Programme. Our warm, inclusive community brings together families from around the world, with a strong focus on academic excellence, wellbeing, and the individual needs of every student.

At BCB, we combine the English National Curriculum with the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the International Primary Curriculum, IGCSEs and the IB Diploma Programme, creating a coherent educational journey from Early Years through to graduation. In Early Years, BCB is the only international school in São Paulo accredited to teach the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), a play-based, inquiry-led framework that nurtures curiosity, creativity and strong foundations for future learning.

Our personalised approach supports students as they become increasingly independent learners, while developing the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to navigate the demands of each stage of their education. Under the leadership of Principal Maurice Hartnett, BCB continues to build a community that values high expectations, innovation and a strong sense of belonging.

As part of Nord Anglia Education, BCB students have access to opportunities that extend their learning beyond the classroom. Collaborations with The Juilliard School, MIT, and UNICEF bring performing arts, STEAM and social impact into students’ experiences, while Global Campus connects them with peers around the world. Students can also take part in international expeditions, the Global Games, the Performing Arts Festival and opportunities through IMG Academy.

Beyond the school year, students can participate in summer camps in Barcelona, Venice, Geneva and Florida, as well as the Study Abroad Programme at Nord Anglia boarding schools in the US. These experiences encourage students to explore new interests, take on new challenges, and build greater independence.

At BCB, we believe that a strong education gives students both a solid academic foundation and the confidence to make the most of the opportunities ahead. Our aim is to help every student become a curious, capable,and independent learner, ready to take their next step in the world.
