St. Nicholas School Pinheiros is a Brazilian IB World School offering the full IB continuum across two campuses, Pinheiros and Alphaville. It serves learners from early childhood to late adolescence, with Tiny Tots (18 months–3 years) in a play-based inquiry approach, the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 3–11, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for 11–16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for 16–18, which leads to Cambridge IGCSE as a pathway. The MYP features the four Peaks core—Passion, Project, Peer and Play—and a homegrown curriculum aligned with IB philosophy. Languages taught include English, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Spanish, and first-language instruction at Diploma level is offered in these languages. Facilities include modern classrooms, Science and Technology Laboratories, well-stocked libraries, recreational areas, outdoor spaces and an on-site pool across both campuses. A structured sports program and Inter-House events accompany academics. The DP core (TOK, CAS, Extended Essay) anchors graduation; more than 90% of Year 12 graduates earn a bilingual IB Diploma.
