About Us
Pan American - the International School of Porto Alegre is an American-International school serving students from Preschool age 3 through Grade 12. Multicultural in nature, we are the only school in Porto Alegre offering international diplomas in addition to the Brazilian diploma. With a focus on academic excellence and teaching quality, we are Porto Alegre's leading education provider. Our smaller size allows us to offer personalized yet challenging educational experiences for all of our students.
