ESB Rio de Janeiro
Welcome to the biggest and most traditional school within the SIS network, the Escola Suíço-Brasileira Rio de Janeiro by SIS Swiss International School. Teachers have been conducting bilingual lessons here for over fifty years, constantly developing and refining their methods. The school has become a benchmark in bilingual education in Brazil, offering it in three sections: German/Portuguese, French/Portuguese and English/Portuguese.
In addition to the Brazilian high school certificate and the preparation for the national exam (ENEM), our students have the opportunity to acquire the IB Diploma, qualifying them for admission to university studies in Brazil or abroad. We prepare them not only for an academic future but also for the challenges of life. Come and meet ESB Rio de Janeiro!

What Defines Us
We live a consistent, but by no means uniform, culture of education – on two continents, in four countries and in 19 locations. But every concept is only as good as its implementation in everyday school life. That is why we make it our highest priority to live by it on a daily basis. Our students and their learning needs are at the heart of our efforts. This is put into practice by taking into account the following eight aspects:
Student Life
Our curriculum is supplemented with a variety of opportunities beyond classroom instruction that enrich learning experiences. This includes lunchtime, homework supervision, intercountry activities, and signature school events as well as exciting after-school activities.
SIS Community
"The biggest influence that ESB Rio de Janeiro left on me was learning that the world is full of possibilities and that we have the necessary tools to explore it."
''It was magical to represent ESB Rio de Janeiro in the SIS Cup. The participation demands physical and mental effort, and it is all worth it! I was able to visit a school in Germany and make new friends. The languages we learn help us meet people and new cultures.''
Admissions
We are happy to guide you through our four-step admission process. As we welcome students from Brazil and abroad, our admission process is open throughout the academic year. Start the ESB Rio de Janeiro admission process and:
