Bilingual learning on a daily basis, from preschool through to college – learning for life. We combine the Brazilian curriculum with elements of the International Baccalaureate (IB) and teach in English, German or French alongside Portuguese by immersion.
Academics ESB Rio de Janeiro
Academics
We combine the Brazilian curriculum with the programmes of the International Baccalaureate Organization, as well as with curricula developed by SIS in key areas to enrich learning with relevant and meaningful content and, at the same time, promote bilingualism. We have implemented the SIS IT Curriculum and the SIS Writing Curriculum in our four languages: Portuguese, English, German and French.
Languages
Whichever path our students choose in the future, a recognised language certificate creates possibilities. At our school, where multilingualism is a core part of our educational concept, students have the opportunity to prepare – almost incidentally – for official language certificates in English, German and French. We aim for them to achieve high levels of proficiency based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
Throughout the school years, our students take the Cambridge exams. These qualifications attest to advanced language skills and are widely recognised in the academic and professional world.
Our students have the opportunity to prepare for the exams recognised by the French Ministry of Education, DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) and DALF (Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française).

The DSD is an official German language certificate of the German education authorities and the Federal Foreign Office. Our students can benefit from targeted preparation for DSD exams which offer them, for example, the opportunity to study in Germany.
