Manaus, Brazil · Private
Illustration · Manaus
A small international school in the Ponta Negra district of Manaus, on the edge of the city beside the rainforest and eight kilometres from the international airport. It teaches children from two and a half to eighteen in English: Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, then IGCSE and AS & A Level. Portuguese is taught at three levels - for beginners, for continuing learners and for native speakers - and Brazilian history and geography are given as separate modules, so that the programme for Y1 to Y5 is recognised by the Amazonas State Education Council; for the upper years recogniti, the school writes, is still being completed. The school grew out of an examination centre opened so that the children of British missionaries could sit IGCSE and A-level on the spot, and it speaks of itself as a "small value-led school" whose life is built on honesty, respect and fairness. It lists its leavers by country - England, the US, Russia, Korea, Japan, Colombia, Canada - but gives no list of universities. The school publishes neither its fees, nor its number of pupils, nor its teaching staff, and its own website no longer works.

Stages and year groups Grades Cambridge Primary - Cambridge Advanced (from 2 years 6 months to 18 years). The school describes itself thus: "a school operating in the English language for students from 2 years 6 months until 18 years". Its Cambridge Pathway page sets out four stages: Cambridge Primary (5-11 years), Cambridge Lower Secondary (11-14), Cambridge Upper Secondary - IGCSE (14-16), Cambridge Advanced - AS & A Level (16-19). The school calls its Brazilian recognition incomplete: "the curriculum is for Y1-5 is fully recognized by the Amazonas State Education Council (Brazilian Educati), and the upper years are in the final stages of the recognition process".

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: Primary (ages 5-11), Lower Secondary (ages 11-14), IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge. Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end. IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
