Land School (Gurilândia Schools) - Pituba

Land School holds IB authorisation for the Middle Years Programme, which it runs across Grades 6 to 9 alongside Brazil's compulsory curriculum, covering eight MYP subject groups such as Individuals and Societies, Language Acquisition, Science, Design and the Arts. At the Federação campus, students can later choose between the Brazilian diploma and the IB Diploma Programme with dual preparation for the IBDP and the ENEM. Pupils can also join Inspired global camps and exchange programmes abroad.

The Pituba campus covers Grades 4 and 5 (the end of Ensino Fundamental I, ages 9 to 11) and Grades 6 to 9 (Ensino Fundamental II / Middle School, ages 11 to 15), where the IB Middle Years Programme is combined with the Brazilian curriculum. High school (Grades 10 to 12), with the choice between the Brazilian diploma and the IB Diploma, is offered at Land Federação; the 2027 Pituba fee table already lists those grades.

The school's mission is to prepare forward-thinking, ethical and socially conscious young people who pursue success in every area of life while developing their talents and contributing to their communities. Its vision of education goes beyond exams and memorisation towards holistic social, emotional and academic growth. Its values are academic excellence, responsibility, integrity, courage and respect.

The Pituba site was purpose-built and covers about 18,000 square metres. It has 32 modern classrooms with integrated technology, fully equipped science laboratories and dedicated art and music rooms. Sports facilities include two multi-sport courts, a covered gymnasium, a football pitch and a semi-Olympic swimming pool. Large playgrounds and shared communal areas give pupils space to socialise and play.

Meals are planned by a nutritionist and cooked in the school kitchen, with adjustments for allergies and dietary needs; they are charged separately from tuition, as are uniforms and extracurricular activities. Qualified staff offer each pupil one-to-one academic guidance and social and emotional support. Through the Inspired group, families can access global camps, exchange programmes and the Nsouli full scholarships.

After school, pupils can choose from sports, martial arts, dance, technology and languages. Options listed for both campuses include volleyball, beach tennis, footvolley, soccer, basketball, rhythmic gymnastics, karate, judo, chess, jazz and ballet, robotics, French club and Spanish with DELE exam preparation. Enrichment events include academic Olympiad training, Model United Nations from Grade 8, a science and technology fair, the Land Cup, the Land Enterprise Challenge, Land Talks and a student film festival.
