Elementary School

Our Elementary School program encompasses Year 1 through Year 5. It is based on the American Common-Core Curriculum together with the Primary Years Program (PYP).

When children join PASB during this phase, we do our best to ensure that they are placed in the most appropriate year levels and classes, after careful consideration of their school trajectory.

Our academic program also includes a Portuguese Language Learners (PLL) program for speakers of other languages, as well as Physical Education, Arts, Music, and of course our Library.

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP)

The IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) is a curriculum structure that develops students’ academic, social, and emotional wellbeing, focusing on international-mindedness and strong personal values. The PYP nurtures independent learning skills, encouraging every student to take responsibility for their learning.
