Brazilian Program

The curricular components of Portuguese Language and Literature, and Brazilian History and Geography make up PASB’s Brazilian program.

PASB’s Brazilian program includes the curricular components of Portuguese Language and Literature and Brazilian History and Geography, which are structured in accordance with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) for Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Schools. These official documents are useful instruments to support pedagogical discussions, elaborate educational projects, plan classes, reflect on educational practices, and analyze teaching materials.

The goal of PASB’s Brazilian Program is to ensure that all students, including those from foreign countries, receive a curricular education that meets the legal requirements of the Law of Directives and Bases of National Education and the BNCC, in accordance with our School Policy. Furthermore, they learn to appreciate aspects of Brazilian culture, strengthen their national identity, and develop meaningful contacts with local culture.

The curriculum construction that constitutes the PASB Brazilian Program considers the horizontal and vertical sequencing of skill and competence development so that our children can, according to their cognitive evolution, acquire more straightforward skills from the ascensional scale, moving towards broader and more complex ones.

The Brazilian Curriculum at PASB is aligned with the American and IB (International Baccalaureate) curricula, enabling our children to have a comprehensive education in all areas of knowledge by the end of the program and to obtain all three diplomas, thereby expanding their opportunities for admission to both local and international universities.
