The Franco-Brazilian School

Category: The Franco Brazilian School, São Paulo, Brazil

Our school was called Lycée Pasteur but it has changed to Lycée Français Santos Dumont. It is a bilingual school. Students here learn French and Portuguese from the very beginning of their studies. In 5th grade they start learning English and in 7th grade they can choose between Spanish and German.

These are our school premises, which house students from kindergarten to high school. There are about 850 students in all.

The photo below shows some students in front of a pannel which was put up to shield the school playground from the ugly and dangerous subway building site hole behind it. The subway station works started in 2004 and the Klabin
Station was launched at the beginning of this year (2006). Students, parents and teachers did some graffitti work on the pannel to make it more inviting and colourful.
