International School of Curitiba

Change is always afoot at the International School of Curitiba (ISC) in Brazil. The school vision – “Teaching for the future” – is taken seriously. In the past year alone, traditional homework has been removed through to Grade 6, time spent on standardised tests has been reduced by 95 per cent and report cards have been changed to student-orientated feedback.These are just some of the many innovations applied in a continual cycle of improvement that comes from being a research-informed, learning-focused school. This approach is infused in all aspects of the ISC life, with education continuing beyond the classroom.
