With a tradition spanning 55 years, the school fosters a rich cultural exchange between Brazil and Germany. Located in Botafogo, the school serves students from ages 3 to 18, in a welcoming and supportive environment, perfect for nurturing young minds. The school prides itself on maintaining an intimate average class size of 18 students, which ensures personalized attention and a conducive learning atmosphere.

The Escola Alemã Corcovado operates with two main branches: the Brazilian branch, where instruction is primarily in Portuguese, and the German branch, which focuses on education in German. The majority of the 1,460 students are Brazilian and typically start their education in the Portuguese-language branch. As they progress and develop proficiency in German, students have the opportunity to transition to the German-language branch. This dual-branch system allows students to work towards both the Brazilian diploma (Conclusão) and the German diploma (Abitur), facilitating their entry into universities in both Brazil and Europe. Remarkably, approximately 50% of students graduate with both diplomas, underscoring the school’s commitment to comprehensive and multicultural education.
