Willem Oosterberg, a pupil of The British School from the years 1962-1965, visited our Botafogo Site for the first time after 40 years… These were his impressions: “My wife and I paid a very rewarding visit to the school. My impression of the visit was that the school has changed a lot and at the same time has remained the same. The most important change of course is the fact that now 90% of the pupils are Brazilian, whereas in my time it was probably only 10%. What has remained, in my impression, is the emphasis on the values of social behaviour and the development of all talents – intellectual, artistic, sports.”
