Land School International School

Land School is an IB World School authorised for the Middle Years Programme (since 2021) and the Diploma Programme (since 2022). Together with Gurilândia, which offers the Primary Years Programme, it provides the full IB continuum in Bahia. In Grades 6 to 9 the MYP is combined with the Brazilian National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC). In High School, students choose between the Brazilian Diploma pathway and a dual pathway in which they take the 18-month IB Diploma Programme alongside the BNCC subjects, sitting IBDP exams in May and then preparing for the ENEM. Students on the Brazilian pathway take IB English B at Higher Level. A college counselling programme supports university applications in Brazil and abroad.

Land School's mission is to prepare forward-thinking individuals who strive for success in all areas of their lives while nurturing their talents and a commitment to making a positive impact on their communities, so that students graduate as ethical and socially conscious people. Its stated values are Academic Excellence, Responsibility, Integrity, Courage and Respect. The school's educational pillars are academic excellence, physical and mental well-being, creativity and entrepreneurship, and an international mindset.

The Federação campus spans around 6,000 m² and was recently expanded and renovated with additional classrooms, a new dining area and refurbished outdoor spaces. Facilities include a science laboratory, a Maker Space, a cinema lab for film studies and video editing, a music room with guitars, drums and keyboards, and a library. Sports areas include an indoor court, a multi-sports court, a synthetic grass court and a beach tennis court. Daily meals are planned by a nutritionist and prepared in the school kitchen.

After-school activities currently listed for Middle School include volleyball, beach tennis, footvolley, rhythmic gymnastics, karate, judo, chess, jazz, ballet, DELE Spanish preparation and French.
