São Paulo School on The 2025 Schools to Watch List by Carfax Education

Carfax Education has recently released the 2025 edition of the Schools to Watch list, part of The Schools Index.

For families across Brazil and South America, the educational landscape is shifting. While the traditional pathways to university often led exclusively through historic institutions in the US or UK, a new generation of schools is emerging closer to home. The recently published 2025 Schools to Watch list captures this momentum, identifying the institutions that are redefining excellence right now.

This curated selection of 25 schools complements our main Schools Index of the world’s leading 150 schools. It focuses specifically on dynamic transformation and innovation - highlighting schools that are moving fast and offering something genuinely distinct.

Innovation in the Americas

We are particularly delighted to see Avenues São Paulo featured in the 'Something Different' category. Its inclusion is a significant validation of the high-quality, forward-thinking education now available within Brazil, offering a global campus model that rivals the best international schools in the world.

Looking further north, the list identifies key opportunities in the United States - a perennial destination for Brazilian students. We have spotlighted Harrow International School New York, which brings a legendary British brand to the US East Coast, and The Buckley School in Los Angeles, known for its distinct approach. For families interested in technology and personalised learning, Alpha High School in Austin, Texas, is also recognised as a notable innovator.

A Global Outlook

For those looking across the Atlantic, the list also notes some exciting developments in Europe. From the tech-focused H-Farm International School in Venice to the revitalised boarding traditions of Ampleforth College in the UK, these are the schools that globally mobile families need to know.
