Brazil International Schools Forum & Workshop

About the Event and why attend

The Brazil International Schools Forum and Workshop will begin in the evening of Tuesday, March 7th 2023 and continue through Wednesday, March 8th in São Paulo.

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

The event will begin with a number of personal development seminars and is followed by a welcome cocktail reception and dinner. Free deluxe accommodation is provided for this evening (Tuesday, 7th March) to all participants so you are well rested for the next day and avoid having to deal with Sao Paulo’s notorious rush-hour traffic.

On the second day, there will be further expert professional development sessions as well as private meetings with Admission Directors & senior staff from over 40 International Universities and Colleges from across the world. It is also an opportunity to network with other high school counsellors from across Brazil.

The Brazil International Schools Forum and Workshop is therefore a must-attend event for gathering new insights on international education, enhancing your knowledge to support students applying overseas and updates on undergraduate admissions.

In addition, during the one-on-one meetings with the directors of admissions and representatives from universities from across the world, you will be updated on the latest application procedures and documentation required for students who plan to persue an international education overseas.

The event is only open to the principal or high school counsellor who must apply to participate. If approved, participation is free of charge and includes the following benefits:
