With the IB Diploma and the Brazilian college degree, our students are free to follow whichever educational path they choose, in Brazil or abroad.
College
Upon graduating from ESB Rio de Janeiro, our students are prepared to continue their studies anywhere in the world, taking with them immeasurable cultural knowledge, critical thinking, and the certificates that give them advantages and confidence for any path they choose.
ESB Rio de Janeiro
At college level, Escola Suíço-Brasileira (ESB) Rio de Janeiro by SIS Swiss International School offers an attractive option to students: the Brazilian college certificate and the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB Diploma). With these both in hand, there is no limit to the educational opportunities available to our students. We prepare all students for both the national exam Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) and entrance exams for Brazilian universities as well as for admission to the best international universities.
During college, students have the opportunity to take specific subjects in English. In addition, they continue with language studies, preparing them for language proficiency diplomas.
In the first year of college, they finish the Middle Years Programme (MYP), which culminates in the presentation of their Personal Project, developed autonomously within an area of student interest. The MYP is the perfect basis to successfully enter the IB Diploma Programme (IB DP). Among the assessments carried out during the IB DP, students develop, with the guidance of a supervisor, the Extend Essay, an in-depth study of a topic related to one of the IB disciplines offered.
Our main priority is to enable students to understand their natural, technical and cultural surroundings in Brazil as well as on an international level. This includes, among other things, educational excursions, camps, day trips to cultural and scientific institutions, visits to theatres, participation in athletic and academic competitions, and author readings and musical performances from the German-, English-, and French-speaking cultural spheres, as well as projects with local communities.
International Baccalaureate (IB)
All students who are enrolled at ESB Rio de Janeiro complete the IB Diploma Programme as an integral part of our curriculum. The IB DP is an academically challenging graduation programme that is respected and recognised by leading universities across the globe.
