Defining the Future

The moment in our lives when big decisions need to be made and
our school experiences help define our future. In our High School,
your child’s development happens through a wide range of
opportunities and personalized learning.

Teaching for the future means providing students with competencies and academic rigor so they are able to make informed decisions about their future and achieve success in their journey after they graduate from ISC.

The High School years at ISC are an intense and rich experience. Our Diploma Programs are designed to meet students’ diverse learning profiles, enabling them to widen their experiences during Grades 9 and 10 and focus on what’s most important on Grades 11 and 12.

This approach has provided our students opportunities
to study in universities across all continents in the world
and universities of choice in Brazil.

What Makes Us Unique

WildMUN

WildMUN

MUN is an extracurricular activity in which students interpret United Nations delegates and simulate conferences. WildMUN is ISC’s official delegation. In these conferences, organized by schools or college clubs around the world, students have to make speeches, draft resolutions and deliberate with delegates whom might be allies and adversaries, in order to resolve conflicts at the country's best interests. Its main goal is to engage students and enable them to develop a deeper understanding of global issues. They have the opportunity to learn about diplomacy, international relations and develop skills such as public speaking, teamwork and leadership.

College Placement

College Placement


The college admissions procedure is a highly individualized process that varies based on the students' needs. During the High School years, the college counselor works with students to help bring clarity and support to the application process, as well as peace of mind for families by matching the student’s learning profile and needs to the right institution.
