Beyond International School is a private bilingual school offering Portuguese and English instruction for children aged 3 to 10. The school follows the Cambridge Primary curriculum for ages 5–10 (Reception to Year 5), with Cambridge Lower Secondary for ages 11–12, and combines this with a Bespoke Curriculum designed to prepare learners for the 21st century. The school's four‑dimensional model—knowledge, skills, character and meta‑learning—drives a competency‑based program that emphasizes STEM, digital literacy, global awareness and systems thinking, reinforced through Be Hour, a daily mindful‑learning session. Instruction is bilingual, with two teachers in every classroom (one Portuguese‑speaking, one English‑speaking) and language development guided by inquiry and projects, alongside integration of the Portuguese National Curriculum. Facilities include bright, flexible classrooms and wide outdoor spaces that invite exploration. Students undertake project‑based learning, purposeful collaboration, and social‑emotional growth within a supportive, growth‑oriented culture. The school emphasizes leadership and global citizenship through its four‑dimensional framework model.
