Colégio Visconde de Porto Seguro

Colégio Visconde de Porto Seguro (often referred to as "Porto Seguro" or "CVPS", formerly named "Deutsche Schule" (German School)) is a private bilingual school located in the neighborhood of Morumbi, in São Paulo, Brazil.

[3] The school was founded on September 22, 1878, as "Deutsche Schule", located in a rented building at Florêncio de Abreu Street, in downtown São Paulo.

In 1974, the school moved to its current location, in Morumbi, with its main entrance in Clementinne Brenne Street.

Valinhos was, at the time, a major residence for German immigrants, who had come to work for companies located in the region.

In 1997, the Panamby unit was founded in order to answer to the high demand for room at the original Morumbi branch.

At high school, all subjects determined by the Brazilian Ministry of Education are taught: Portuguese, English, history, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.

Also, at 3rd grade, Portuguese is divided into Portuguese (grammar and literature) and Composition (because many universities require a composition for admission at their vestibulares), and the "Atualidades", a subject in which main events taking place during the time the class is given are discussed, was introduced in 2008.

Apart from the normal classes the A curriculum have, they have also study History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Arts, Music, English, Spanish (facultative), French (facultative and paid), PE (for the 1st to 4th grade plus abitur) and German classes taught in German (Geschichte, Mathematik, Physik, Chemie, Biologie, Kunst, Musik, Englisch, Spanisch, Fanzösisch, Sport and Deutsch respectively).
