Description:
| Discover the vastness of Brazil. Almost everything in Brazil can be described by one word: large. It is the 5th largest country and occupies almost half of South America. It boasts 30% of the world's remaining rain forest, as well as the world's largest river, the Amazon. Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro rank among the 10 largest cities in the world. Come experience the rich culture and great natural reserve for yourself! Schools in Brazil begin in mid-February (after summer vacation) and finish by the end of November. The school year is divided into 4 quarters with only one vacation break for 4 weeks in July. Summer vacation is from December to February.
In general, classes in Brazil begin at 7 am and end at noon. Students and parents often have lunch at home, as it is the most important meal of the day. There is no school on Sunday, but some schools do have classes or tests on Saturday mornings. Brazilian students are expected to spend the afternoon studying independently at home.
