Secondary School

We educate students with critical thinking, leadership, and a global perspective, preparing them for the challenges of the world and their academic future.

A decisive stage for the future

In Secondary School, our students consolidate an academically rigorous education, strengthen their critical thinking, and build their life project with identity and Marist values.

They experience the final stage of the International Baccalaureate Continuum (MYP and Diploma Programme), preparing for university and the challenges of the world with a global perspective.

We educate autonomous, empathetic, and confident young people who are capable of leading with purpose and thriving in demanding environments.

  • MYP + IB Diploma: rigorous education with international standards
  • Leadership and purpose: autonomy, critical thinking, and social commitment
  • Holistic formation: Marist values, arts, sports, and close guidance

How the IB develops in secondary school

MYP (Grades 7–9): Learning Connected to the Real World

Students analyze current issues, explore different perspectives, and build meaningful learning experiences that integrate various areas of knowledge. They strengthen key skills such as research, communication, critical thinking, and self-management.

Diploma Programme (Grades 10–11): Excellence with International Projection

A demanding and balanced program that develops academic depth, analytical thinking, and research skills. It prepares students to excel at university and in global environments.

How Our Students Learn

Academic excellence with international projection

Our rigorous education strengthens critical thinking, research, innovation, and autonomy. Learning at Champagnat means learning to understand the world… and to transform it. Students develop the skills needed for university and the challenges of the future while maintaining a strong human, emotional, and spiritual foundation.

Languages: English and Portuguese

English is consolidated through an intensive approach. As a Cambridge English Educational Partner and an official preparation center for international certifications, our students are prepared for Cambridge qualifications such as KET, PET, FCE, and CAE. Portuguese, taught through Grade 8, complements their education and strengthens their global profile.

International exchanges and global experiences

Through exchanges and international experiences, students develop a global mindset, autonomy, and adaptability. They share academic, social, and cultural experiences with students from other countries and from the global Marist community.

Interiority and guidance during a key stage

We provide spaces for tutoring and interiority that strengthen well-being, identity, and thoughtful decision-making. These are moments for listening, reflection, emotional growth, and integrating Marist spirituality into everyday life.

School life that shapes leaders

Students participate in projects and academic, artistic, and athletic activities that strengthen discipline, teamwork, and leadership. Study visits and trips, youth groups, sports and debate teams, and artistic groups (upon application and evaluation) allow students to represent the school in organizations such as ADECOPA. These experiences help students develop the confidence and skills to thrive in different contexts.

The Champagnat graduate profile

By the end of Secondary School, our students are prepared to confidently face the academic and personal challenges of the future.
