Welcome to the American School of Brasilia! Whether you are a prospective student or parent, a current community member, a possible employee, or an interested onlooker, it is my pleasure to welcome you to EAB. EAB has been serving the English speaking community in Brasilia for more than 55 years. As the school mission states, we are committed to the academic preparation of our students, the development of inquisitiveness, ethical behavior, and service, as well as to preparing them for the ongoing opportunities and challenges the future will hold.

EAB is accredited by AdvancEd, a US regional accrediting agency. This accreditation was renewed in 2016. The school uses American curriculum standards and benchmarks with an international perspective and a college preparatory level of rigor. The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program is offered in grades 11 and 12 in order to prepare our graduates for success in their continuing education. While academic excellence is our focus, the integration of the arts, humanities, language learning, service, and athletics are closely wound into the EAB experience.

The students and families of EAB come from more than 50 countries and bring a wonderful international experience and perspective to the school. EAB’s students have an established tradition of hard work, varied interests, and a passion for learning.  The school is a member of the Association of American Schools in Brazil and our students participate in various competitions and activities with other member schools around the country.

Excellent teachers are at the heart of outstanding schools. The teachers at EAB come from a variety of North American public and private schools, comparable international schools from around the world as well as from Brazil. They are committed to fulfilling the school’s mission and are desirous of the success of their students. They are talented teachers, writers, scientists, mentors, artists, athletes, coaches, and friends.

It is my pleasure to work with you and your families and I welcome your contact or questions if I can be of service in any regard.EAB is a private, independent school governed by a Board of Directors that set the strategic direction of the school. Parents are also actively involved in the school as part of the Family School Partnership (FSP). The school was established in 1961 by American Embassy parents and has enjoyed a close relationship with the US Embassy and Government for over 50 years.

 Sincerely,
