About the Event and why attend

The Brazil International Schools Forum and Workshop will begin in the evening of Wednesday March 9th and continue through Thursday March 10th in São Paulo.

It will follow a similar format to other BMI International High Schools Forum & Workshops across the world and are limited to a maximum of 45 principals and high school counsellors and is therefore expected to reach capacity by the middle of January 2022.

The event, which is free of charge is held over two days. On the first evening, there are two private sessions for counsellors to discuss key issues of importance to them – these are for counsellors only. This is followed by a welcome cocktail reception and dinner. Free deluxe accommodation is provided for this evening (Wednesday March 9th) to all participants so you do not have to go home and return early the next day and are well rested. On the second day, there will be a number of expert professional development seminars from expert speakers as well as private meetings with Admission Directors & senior staff from up to 35 International Universities and colleges from across the world. It is also an opportunity to network with other high school counsellors from across Brazil.
