The American School of Belo Horizonte, known as EABH (Escola Americana de Belo Horizonte), is an independent, non-profit, parent-owned association founded in 1956 by a group of missionary families who wanted an English-language, American-style education for their children. It is the only American school in the state of Minas Gerais and has occupied its permanent campus in the Buritis district of Belo Horizonte since the early 1970s. Today EABH serves around 500 students from about 20 nationalities in a full-day programme from Pre-Kindergarten, starting at age 4, through Grade 12. The school combines the American and Brazilian curricula within an international framework: it is accredited by Cognia, which allows it to award an American high school diploma, it is authorised as a Brazilian school, and it is an IB World School offering the Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes. In High School, students can also take Advanced Placement courses and the AP Capstone Diploma, so graduates may earn up to four diplomas. Instruction is mainly in English, with Portuguese integrated across the school. EABH is a member of AASSA and of the Association of American Schools in Brazil, and its campus is being expanded under a multi-phase master plan that added new arts and upper school buildings.
