The American School of Brasilia/Escola Americana de Brasilia (known as “EAB” in both English and Portuguese) is located at SGAS 605 in Asa Sul. The student population is approximately 60% Brazilian, 20% American and 20% other Internationals. Each classroom is balanced as much as possible to have an equal mix between the genders and different nationalities. Main classroom instruction is all in English. Students separate into two groups for Portuguese classes, with native speakers attending Portuguese language and history classes geared towards attaining the Brazilian diploma, while the non-native speakers attend PLL (Portuguese Language Learners) classes. The high school offers Brazilian, International and IB diploma programs for high school students.
The typical school day runs from 8:00-3:00 (with a 9:00 start on Wednesdays). For a school of its small size, EAB offers a wide range of both curricular and extracurricular activities. Elementary school students have the option of attending after-school activities from 3:00-4:00, including jujitsu, yoga, ballet, cheerleading, Spanish, etc. Middle- and high-school students can choose from sports such as basketball or the music, arts or theatre programs. The school also plans celebrations for the students for major Brazilian holidays, such as Independence Day and Festa Junina, and coordinates with the U.S. Embassy and the FSP (Family-School Partnership organization - similar to a PTO/PTA) to plan U.S. holidays such as Halloween and Thanksgiving.
For American families working at the embassy, the location is very convenient to the embassy as well as to most of the embassy’s housing in both Lago Sul and the Plano Piloto (Asa Norte, Asa Sul and Sudoeste). The U.S. embassy provides a shuttle that can drop the students off either at home or (during non-covid times) at the embassy, where many of the kids play on the embassy playground or do homework until their parents get off work.
EAB also offers a pre-school program (K3 and K4). Many of the local students attend EAB K3 through Grade 12, however, many American and International parents choose a different alternative for those two years (waiting until K5 to enroll their children at EAB) since they aren’t typically covered by embassy tuition programs, and the cost is quite expensive compared to local options.

Highly recommended
Cristina has a natural ability to engage with children of all ages. With her previous profession employment as a teacher, and having two adult children of her own, she is well placed to take responsibility for any children in her care. Speaking fluent Portuguese and English, your children will be in safe hands and also receive the benefits of improving their language abilities.

I came here to write a post about Billy and I see there already is one! So I'll just add my experience. When I was brand-new to Brasilia I did a group tour of Brasilia. This is a really great tour - you'll learn not only the layout of the city and the history of why it's been done that way, but also get to see all the big monuments and best architecture. I would really recommend this tour if you have family or friends visiting. You'll learn so much about the city, and your guests will feel like they actually know the city.

Moving is often a stressful and daunting task, but AAA Moving & Relocations LLC made it a breeze!
The team was fantastic - they were professional, efficient, friendly and patient! They took great care in packing and securing all of my belongings, and even went above and beyond to collect a few items that I had forgotten.
Paulo Woolny, the owner of the company, was also incredibly helpful throughout the process. He provided transparent and accurate quotes upfront, so there were no surprises when it came to the cost of my move. He also kept me informed every step of the way, which really put my mind at ease. He is always willing to please you if he can and if something is under his control.
When my removal reached Italy, their Italian counterparts were just as efficient and careful. All my belongings arrived in time and in perfect condition, which was great.
Overall, I cannot recommend AAA Moving & Relocations LLC highly enough. They truly are experts in their field, and they made what could have been a very stressful experience into a pleasant and easy one. If you're looking for a moving company that cares about your belongings and your peace of mind, look no further than AAA Moving & Relocations LLC. You shall not be disappointed!

If you want a day trip outside the city, Billy does really great tours to Cristalina, Pirenopolis, etc. I went on a Cristalina small group tour with him and it was really fun. My son is still talking about it two years later.

One of the best Açaís I've ever tried!
Super affordable, with generous portions. My favorite is the one mixed with cupuaçu sorbet 😍
The place is very charming and peaceful. They offer a range of delicious typical food and the owner is super friendly.
