International Schools in Belo Horizonte

Hello There,

Today we will talk about International Schools in Belo Horizonte. We do not have many options, as only two schools could be called international, as their curriculums are accepted elsewhere then Brazil plus an elementary Canadian school.

American School of Belo Horizonte (http://www.eabh.com.br) - Teaches in English and have native English speakers in their faculty. It's the only school in Belo Horizonte that have IB (International Baccalaureate - http://www.ibo.org) Accreditation. It also have the United States SACS accreditation that generates high school graduation both in Brazil and U.S.A. Scholarship programs for Sports also are a good attraction.

Fundacao Torino (http://fundacaotorino.com.br) - Teaches in Italian and have native italian speakers in their faculty. It belongs to the FIAT foundation and was originally founded to support the FIAT expats that moved to Belo Horizonte, when the factory was established in Betim. Today their curriculum generates accreditation in both Brazil and Europe.

You can also find just elementary type school, as Maple Bear (http://www.maplebear.com.br) that have Brazil and Canada accreditation. They have two units in Belo Horizonte today. It's a franchise style school that have grown quite well during the past two years.

Well people, simple information that can open some doors. Next post will be related to Belo Horizonte Cultural aspects and it's residents.
