Following its 1937 birth in an Old House in Ipanema (link to Official EA - use "back" button), the school moved in 1940 to the above location in Leblon, a suburb of Rio   (See Clickable Maps).   The Escola Americana (EA) became another jewel of the Cidade Maravilhosa, a city already famous for its beautiful geographical setting, Carnaval , the Samba, and Macumba.  This is how EA still appeared in 1965.

   The Escola Americana today is nestled in a Lush Green Jungle in the suburb of Gávea.  The modern architecture, pool and Tropical Grounds give EA the appearance of a country club. You are the only thing missing.  Cadê você, heim?
