School of the Nations was established on September 1, 1980, to build a learning community of world citizens from diverse backgrounds. It opened with 17 students and three rented classrooms in the Independent British Institute (IBI). By 1981 it had grown to 37 students and occupied a wing of the Presbyterian Institute in Lago Sul, Brasilia. In August 1987 the school moved to its current Brasilia campus, and in 2002 inaugurated a second campus to host the Early Childhood program. Today, School of the Nations educates over 700 students.
The Nations community includes students, families, staff, and alumni connected through Portals: Students and Families, Staff, and Alumni. A transformational learning culture and four dimensions of human development guide students to become conscious, compassionate global citizens. The community engages with events such as a Career Fair, Literacy Day, Knowledge Bowl, MUNations, Community Camps, and Nations Festival. The school is Bahá'í-Inspired and upholds core values such as unity in diversity and service to humankind.
