Lower School

Welcome to the Lower School, the Preprimary and Elementary Division of Graded School.  Students aged 2yrs. to the 5th grade create an atmosphere of energy and enthusiasm in the Lower School.  This energy comes from a variety of nationalities, languages and cultures.

The Preprimary Division serves students from 2 to 6 years of age with a Montessori program for toddlers and mixed-age groups of 3 to 6 year-olds.   The Elementary Division serves students from 6 to 11 years of age in grades 1 to 5.  Elementary classes range in size from 18 to 22 students and provide a core academic program quite similar to elementary schools in the United States. 

Take a moment to look through this website and access our Student/Parent Handbook to see in more detail what life at Graded is like.  The opportunities and possibilities for our students in this K-12 environment are numerous, as are the possibilities in and about the city of São Paulo. 

Our secretaries and support staff are here to assist you in our offices and we are always available to answer your questions via email or phone.
