The American School of Brasilia is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community that embraces difference with compassion, respect, and acceptance. Diversity is considered in its broadest definition to include race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion, political persuasion, physical, cognitive or social ability, as well as other forms of identity. In recognition of its fundamentally international and Brazilian character, EAB seeks to attract an ever greater diversity of students, faculty, and administrators. EAB recognizes that our community is particularly strengthened by the inclusion of students with diverse backgrounds, interests, and abilities and strives to meet the unique needs of all of its students.

At EAB, we're always looking to the future and aiming to best prepare our students to step forward confidently into the world.
