Colégio Polilogos

Colégio Polilogos (Korean: 브라질한국학교) was a South Korean international school in Bom Retiro, Sao Paulo, Brazil.[1] It was operated by Associação Brasileira de Educação Coreana (ABEC) and was the largest Korean international day school in South America.[2]

Construction started around 1996.[3] It was established circa 1998. The Ministry of Education (South Korea) helped pay for the establishment of the school, which took 3.5 billion won of ministry funding and donations and another 3.5 billion won of investments. At some point it was not registered as a nonprofit organization in Brazil, so taxes began to decimate the school in a three-year period. It closed in 2017.[2]
