Upper School

Welcome to the Upper School section of the Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro (EARJ) website. In the Upper School, we are collectively committed to providing our students with the knowledge, skills and dispositions they will need to thrive as leaders in our global society. While a relaxed and friendly "Carioca" attitude pervades our campus, we are a college preparatory school where rigorous academics prevail and expectations are high.

In order to best serve our multicultural student body, we offer three challenging diploma programs: American, Brazilian, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). These diploma programs prepare our students for success at top universities throughout the world. In addition to a strong academic program, we provide a comprehensive set of extracurricular activities. Our students can participate in athletics, fine arts, student government, Model UN, community service, field trips in Brazil and abroad, Panther Video Club, and more.

Thank you for your interest in our school. If you would like additional information, please feel free to contact us.
