Secondary Bible/Humanities Teacher
Brasilia International School
School Background:
Brasilia International School (BIS) is located in Brazil's capital city. Brasilia is a purpose-built city, designed in the late 1950's as the federal district of the country. Like Washington, DC, it is not a municipality or state. The original city is designed in the shape of an airplane where the seat of government is in the "cockpit"; the hotels, TV tower, and major road arteries are in the middle body; and the residential areas and businesses are in the wings. BIS is located near the top of southern tip of the south wing, which is also the area where our expat staff lives. Brasilia has 2.8 million people with many living in 'satellite cities' surrounding the original "airplane" city. Brasilia is home to 133 embassies, which contributes to the great diversity of the city and school. Brasilia has amazing weather, a spacious city park and accessibility to beautiful waterfalls, a great assortment of restaurants and sidewalk cafes, and delicious local foods including tapioca and acai. There is much to see and enjoy. BIS is unique in Brasilia as the only international school that is not required to have Brazilian accreditation. This allows us the flexibility to pursue academic and spiritual excellence without having to compromise government or ministry regulations. BIS has an ELC3 through 12th grade program with the majority of students in the elementary school. BIS is fortunate to have the freedom to share and integrate our Biblical worldview throughout the entire curriculum and into the community. Our campus is situated on two lots in the "school zone" of the south wing. The leased campus and buildings were built to be a school and there is area to grow on these lots in the future.
