Grilli Canning College opened in 2001 as a site of the Grilli group, which traces its beginnings to a small tutorial school founded by two teachers in 1957. The school is officially bilingual across all three stages and takes children from forty-five days old: the nursery, primary and secondary school run through to the final sixth year with a bilingual baccalaureate diploma in economics and management. English here is not an optional extra: more than a hundred pupils sit IGCSE examinations every year, those who wish go on to the Cambridge AICE diploma, and in art and design the school takes pupils through to Cambridge International IGCSE and A Level; the third language taught is Portuguese, with a certificate from the Universidade de Caxias do Sul. Extra-curricular provision is broad: a debating club, TED clubs, Model United Nations, an orchestra and tango, mathematics and chemistry olympiads, a robotics workshop and a MakerLab, while the youngest have a midday club with yoga, chess, STEAM, drama and a literature workshop. The campus has a sports hall, a library, a dining room, a laboratory and a Maker space, and sport covers hockey, rugby, football, handball, athletics and gymnastics, with trips to inter-school leagues and to a cultural and sporting tour of Britain and France. The school does not state fees, additional charges or the pupil numbers of this particular campus, and it does not name its teaching staff individually.

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: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). 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.

The school does not publish a named list of staff: the "Nuestro Equipo" block on its home page describes its leaders in general terms, without names and without figures. Of how the work is organised, it names the PAT - Profesores Acompañantes de Trayectorias - who are attached to every secondary class and follow the pupil both in their studies and in their relationships. The school does not state teacher numbers, their qualifications or the pupil-teacher ratio.

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.
