Graded Named One of the Top 5 Schools in Latin America

Graded – The American School of São Paulo is proud to be recognized as one of the top five schools in Latin America and top 150 in the world in the prestigious Global Schools Index by Carfax Education, a leading international consultancy known for curating one of the world’s most respected independent school guides. Now in its fifth edition, the Schools Index is compiled annually by education consultants at Carfax Education.

In this cosmopolitan setting, pupils are not just learners; they are active participants in a diverse community, shaping a future that values inclusion and adventure.”
