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.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
A Brazilian education group that counts its history from 1963 and the founding of Curso Oswaldo Cruz in São Paulo. The numbers diverge between its Portuguese and English versions: 505 schools and 78,000 pupils worldwide, 37 countries, and 235 schools in Brazil on sebeducation.com - against more than 400,000 pupils in about 40 countries and more than 450 bilingual institutions on seb.com.br/en. The "Nossas escolas" section lists six school brands, among them Maple Bear Global Schools, Escola Concept and Escola Bilíngue Pueri Domus. There is no single statement on the form of control over the schools on the site of the group.
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.
Escola Bilíngue Pueri Domus - a school in São Paulo founded in 1966. Its own "Quem somos" page places the move under the management of Grupo SEB in 2009: "Em 2009, o Pueri Domus passa a ser gerido pelo Grupo SEB". The English version of the same page puts it more softly, "becomes part of", and ownership cannot be told from management by the site. Five sites: Aclimação, Itaim, Perdizes, Perdizes II and Verbo Divino.
