Colégio Suíço-Brasileiro de Curitiba

A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.

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: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

A non-profit organisation that maintains two schools: Escola Suíço-Brasileira de São Paulo and Colégio Suíço-Brasileiro de Curitiba. Both are recognised and supported by the government of Switzerland and the patron cantons of Basel and Aargau, and also by the education secretariats of the states of São Paulo and Paraná. The dates of foundation of the association itself differ between the pages of the two schools: 20 August 1965 on the São Paulo page and 10 June 1979 on the Curitiba page. The college in Curitiba opened on 3 March 1980 and was recognised by the government of Switzerland in 1983.

What this means for this school. The network owns or operates the school. Its accreditation and programme authorisation the school obtains separately, in its own name.
