High School Curriculum

Graded is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) in the United States, recognized by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, and authorized as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. Graded’s college-preparatory curriculum is designed to prepare students for admission to colleges and universities in Brazil, the United States, and around the world.

Graded offers multiple academic pathways that may lead to three distinct diplomas. All graduates earn the United States High School Diploma, which is equivalent to diplomas awarded by accredited high schools in the United States. Students may also earn the Brazilian Diploma, which is required for admission to Brazilian higher education institutions and institutions in countries that maintain educational agreements with Brazil. In addition, eligible students may pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, earning the IB Diploma upon successful completion of the program’s rigorous academic requirements and external assessments.

Detailed course descriptions and graduation requirements can be found in the Graded High School Course Handbook. Course offerings may vary from year to year based on student enrollment, interest, staffing, and scheduling considerations.
