Also known locally as Escola Americana de Brasília (EAB), the American School of Brasilia is a coeducational day school in the federal capital serving learners from early years through senior school. The school is particularly unique for integrating the Brazilian national education system with the internationally recognized IB Diploma Programme. This dual orientation provides both diplomatic and local families with a rigorous, globally focused education that remains firmly grounded in Brazil's cultural and academic context.
