Sao Paulo - School Report Question and Answers
Aside from school fees, are there required expenses such as uniforms, laptops/tablets, musical instruments, or field trips that parents are expected to cover? What are the approximate costs?
BCB requires school uniforms (jackets, button up shirts, ties, pants/skirts, PE uniforms) for all students. In the lower school all classroom supplies/tech devices are provided. - Jun 2018
Yes, all kids must have a laptop and starting in 4th grade, there are overnight field trips which are part of the curriculum. Costs range from a few hundred U.S. dollars for the lower school trips (which are 1-2 nights), up to $2000 for high school trips (which are for one week). Most extracurricular activities will offer a trip as well, ranging from U.S.$500-$3000. A family with multiple kids will need to budget for this! - Jan 2018
