Graduates are trilíngual (German, Portuguese, English) and are prepared for internationally recognized exams such as the German DSD and Abitur.

The school offers more than 60 extracurricular courses. The music program includes instruments and ensembles such as bass, drums, voice, clarinet, recorder, guitar, children's music, orchestra, percussion, piano/keyboard, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, viola, violin, cello, and acoustic guitar. Theatre Humboldt provides a bilingual arts space with projects, debates, lectures, and performances by the Orchestra and Theatre Group.

Intercâmbios offers international study experiences. For 8th grade, there is a study trip to Germany with a two‑week intensive German course and cultural activities. In high school, students may participate in two international experiences in alternating years: a Germany trip of about 20 days in April with university visits, lectures, workshops, and company internships; and a UK trip with a two‑week intensive English course and cultural sightseeing. The program emphasizes intercultural learning and language development.

The Grêmio Estudantil fosters democratic participation and serves as the bridge between students, teachers, and the school leadership. It develops critical thinking, leadership, communication, empathy, and teamwork as students plan actions and events, and is elected annually by the student body.
