We are considering a move to Brazil and I had a few questions about where we should live and such. We are a family of six with four kids (grades 2,4,6,9 in America) and need to find a good International school with a program suitable for our 9th grader, who is a good student and is aiming at top level American Universities. Also, we would like to know about the best tennis clubs and academies in the city as our kids are avid competitive tennis players who will need to continue playing. And finally.. what are the best places for expats to live. We have lived abroad before and we lucked out in finding a tennis club with a residential community on site, is there anything comparable to that in Sao Paulo Thanks for the help.

I just realized I didn't specify that we are going to Sao Paulo.

The school that you need is: Graded.
Tennis: Club Pinheiros.
Both are really expensive. If you can afford it, your best options availables.

Hello, My name is Mauricio.
Well I was born in Sao Paulo, and now i go to a College in Missouri.
I know what is the American Style of living. I would recommend you to live in the South zone of Sao Paulo. The neighborhood of Morumbi, or, Hebraica, or Vila Olimpia. This area is a very good area to live in Sao Paulo. The good thing about this area is that you will live close to one of the best clubs in Brazil. This club is called Pinheiros. There you and your family can practice lots and lots of sports.
I personally don't play tennis, but I have friends who used to play tennis at the Pinheiros club, and now they are playing here in the US at a Division 1 school.
My email is mauricio_006_62@hotmail.com feel free to contact me anytime.
