Language Provision

English is the primary language of instruction at EAB, and Portuguese is studied through Grade 10. All students study two languages, with English and Portuguese mandatory for K3 through Grade 10, and Brazilian students required to study Portuguese. In the IB Diploma Program, students study English and a second language such as Portuguese B, Spanish ab initio, or another language through Pamoja or the IB School-Supported Self-Taught Literature option. EAB provides language support through English Language Learners (ELL) and Portuguese Language Acquisition (PLA), uses assessments such as WIDA, MAP, and AAPPL to guide placement and progress, and employs a translanguaging approach to access content in English, Portuguese, and other languages.
