The Escola Suíço-Brasileira de São Paulo was founded on 20 August 1965 by the Swiss community in São Paulo. Classes began on 28 February 1966 in Brooklin, at Rua Pedro Taques, with 53 students. The cornerstone for the current building on Rua Visconde de Porto Seguro was laid in 1969, and the 1970 school year began in the new building. The school was recognized by the Swiss Government in 1967, and the first Swiss Maturité diplomas were presented in 1984; the first graduation of Brazilian secondary education occurred in 1975. Since 1996 it has been a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization, and in 1999 the first IB Diploma was awarded. The Swiss-Brazilian School Association, a nonprofit entity, sponsors the Escola Suíço-Brasileira de São Paulo and the Colégio Suíço-Brasileiro of Curitiba, with a Board of Directors elected by the General Assembly for a two-year term, with possible re-election.
