Colégio Rio Branco

Colégio Rio Branco is one of São Paulo's most established and respected private schools, maintained by the Fundação de Rotarianos de São Paulo. Operating since the early 20th century, the school offers education from Early Childhood through High School (ages 4–17) from its campuses in the Higienópolis neighborhood and Granja Viana. Rio Branco is known for combining an innovative, authorial Brazilian curriculum with a strong international education component, achieved through its partnership with the International Curriculum Association (ICA) and Rosedale Global High School. This partnership integrates a complementary Middle School and High School English-medium program into the curriculum, allowing students to develop intercultural competencies and strong academic skills in both Portuguese and English. The school is recognized for fostering critical thinking, student autonomy, and social responsibility — preparing graduates for Brazil's most competitive university entrance exams (ENEM, FUVEST) as well as international institutions. Colégio Rio Branco's community is known for its strong parent engagement, excellent faculty, and tradition of excellence.
