Colegio Experimental Paraguay-Brasil, Educational institution in Asunción, Paraguay
The Colegio Experimental Paraguay-Brasil is a school in Asunción, Paraguay, located at the corner of Comandante Gamarra and Gobernador Irala streets, designed by Brazilian architect Affonso Eduardo Reidy. The building brings together classrooms, offices, and shared areas under a modern structure built to serve an active school community.
The school grew out of a 1941 initiative linked to a visit by Brazilian President Getúlio Vargas to Paraguay, which opened the way for closer educational ties between the two countries. The foundation stone was laid in 1952 and construction began in 1954.
The school teaches Spanish, Guaraní, English, Portuguese, and French, which gives daily life on campus a noticeably international feel. Students can take part in exchange programs with Brazil and France, bringing outside perspectives directly into the classroom.
Classes are kept small by design, and new enrollments open before the start of the academic year. Families interested in attending should ask about admission requirements well in advance, as spots fill up early.
The building was designed by Affonso Eduardo Reidy, one of the leading Brazilian architects of the 20th century, best known for the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro. This school in Asunción is one of the few works he completed outside Brazil.
