Portuguese and English are the languages taught. English is a separate subject (Língua Inglesa) in Grades 1–5; weekly hours are 1 in Grade 1 and 3 in Grades 2–5. In Early Years, the IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum) includes English-language content; in Grades 1–5, IPC (International Primary Curriculum) projects cover Language Arts, Geography, History, ICT & Computing, Music, Health Food, Physical Education, and other subjects in English as part of the bilingual program.
The school offers bilingual teaching in Portuguese and English. Groups 1 and 2 may follow a curriculum 100% in Portuguese or a 50% English–50% Portuguese arrangement within the partial bilingual shift. A full bilingual Education Project provides a full-day program within the curriculum. English is taught as a dedicated subject in Grades 1–5, and IEYC/IPC-based content is used in Early Years and Primary.
