**School Overview**
The British School of Brasilia is a member of the British Schools Foundation.
BSB was established in 2016, initially as a primary school and has grown organically into secondary school, year upon year.
The school has experienced sustained growth and now incorporates EYFS, Primary and Secondary School to Year 12 with 400 pupils on roll.
Our objective is to establish a double-form entry school of approximately 600 pupils.
In 2022 we relocated to a new site which provides a lovely environment for our community including enhanced Sports and Arts facilities.
Two years later, our first Year 11 cohort completed their GCSE examinations and at the beginning of this academic year we launched the IB Diploma.
In August 2026, our first group of students will complete their IBDPs and enter university.
First time visitors to our school often comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere that our community has established.
We believe strongly that all stakeholders should enjoy positive relationships.
Our students are bright, motivated and talented individuals drawn from both internationally minded Brazilian families and a range of international backgrounds and our curriculum reflects this.
Our staff work very hard but are well rewarded personally and professionally.
As a result, many of our teachers gain a strong affinity for the school and stay for several years.
The British School of Brasilia is an exciting and enriching place to work.
We look forward to welcoming our next Headteacher and continuing to build a school of which we can all be proud.
