Escola Chinesa Internacional, based in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, is Brazil's first international Chinese school. It welcomes children aged 1 to 13 and offers tri-lingual instruction in Mandarin, Portuguese, and English with native teachers. The Early Childhood program uses Montessori education, providing a quality, hands-on environment with materials across science, language, geography, history, astronomy, geology, mathematics, and languages. In Fundamental I and II (grades 1–7), the curriculum blends BNCC-aligned Brazilian standards with Chinese educational elements, prioritizing Portuguese, mathematics, sciences, and humanities. Core subjects such as mathematics and Chinese are taught in Mandarin by specialists, while Mandarin is integrated with English to sustain a tri-lingual environment. Language instruction is organized by language blocks to cultivate multilingual proficiency and a multicultural perspective. The school emphasizes holistic development, equality, tolerance, respect for diverse origins, and a personalized approach to nurture each student's interests and potential. The campus features Espaço Tia Maína, after-school options, and project-based learning in robotics, programming, and Chinese culture.
