High School

Welcome to the High School at the American School of Brasília.

At its core the high school at EAB is a student-centered learning community dedicated to nurturing bold, caring and creative learners who are empowered to meet the challenges and embrace the opportunities of a rapidly-changing world. The EAB Mission Statement and Vision commit us to providing the young men and women in the high school a balanced education based on the school's Vision to "positively impact the world through excellence in academics, activities, arts, leadership and service." We fulfill our Mission to be "Learners inspiring learners to be inquisitive in life, principled in character , and bold in vision" by offering an individualized and innovative program that provides a wide array of academic and extracurricular opportunities that empower students to pursue individual passions in a supportive, yet challenging environment.

The high school at EAB is a community bound by shared values. Though we are a "diverse community" that represents over 40 nationalities and myriad religions, races, cultures and belief systems, we are brought together by fundamental beliefs about how we learn, how we treat each other, and how we engage the world. We believe that every person deserves decency and respect, that all of us can learn, and that we are stronger together than apart. We believe in the power of collaboration and take the responsibility to serve our learning community seriously. We are a transient community, but we strive to improve every day and have faith that the school will be better when we leave than it was when we arrived. These values are encapsulated not only in EAB's Mission and Vision, but also in The EAB Learner Profile, Student Rights, and Upper School Honor Code. We have worked hard as a community to develop the values that make EAB a special place to learn and each day we strive to live and uphold those values in all we say and do.

Please take a few minutes to browse our website to learn more about the work we do at EAB. Once again, welcome to the American School of Brasilia. Please let me know if you would like further information about our school, its philosophy or our programs. I can be reached at dbair@eabdf.br.
