What Escola Americana does

Escola Americana is a private bilingual K-12 school located in the Jardim América neighborhood of Goiânia, Brazil, operated under the sponsorship of CCBEU (Conselho Cultural Brasil-Estados Unidos), a binational cultural institution that holds an American Space designation from the U.S. Embassy. The school serves three age-defined segments — Early Childhood Education (Education Infantil, ages 2-5), Elementary I (Fundamental I, ages 6-10), and Elementary II (Fundamental II, ages 11-14) — and delivers a 50/50 Portuguese-English bilingual curriculum through a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology. Since 2018, the school has partnered with Griggs International Academy to issue an American High School diploma in addition to the standard Brazilian credential, with 127 students having earned the American diploma and a reported 94% approval rate in the program.

The school operates a single physical campus supported by 31 employees, with a Maker Space outfitted for robotics, 3D printing, and programming instruction. Its curriculum is aligned with both the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDB). The school also runs a Cambridge Exam Preparation program, with a 100% Cambridge pass rate, and offers supplementary programs including POWERKIDS, a Got Talent showcase event, an in-house podcast titled "Educação que se Vê," a 360-degree virtual campus tour, and digital outreach via WhatsApp.

The school's revenue model is tuition-based, drawing from individual families enrolling their children rather than enterprise or institutional customers. The institution has been operational for several decades under CCBEU's stewardship and is currently accepting enrollments for the 2026 academic year. No public revenue figures, enrollment counts, or fee schedules are disclosed in the available data.

• Red Balloon School: Red Balloon is one of Brazil's most established premium bilingual school chains with multiple campuses. It competes for the same middle-to-upper-class families in Goiânia seeking full English immersion and international curriculum.
• Escola Maple Bear Goiânia: Maple Bear is a major Canadian-model bilingual school franchise with campuses across Brazil including Goiânia. It is a direct competitor offering English immersion K-12 education to families seeking premium bilingual schooling in the same region.
