Brasília relocation guide

Moving to Brasília with children

Build the school, home and care routine together.

On this page

The short answer

A family move to Brasília starts with more than the bedroom count. EAB and British School Brasília sit in different areas and publish different admission and pickup details. The housing examples include compact furnished homes and larger apartments, but furnishing and access need individual checks. Put the child's school decision, care route and daily travel in the same plan before paying for the home.

Discuss placement, language and support before choosing the school journey.
Santa Lúcia Sul publishes pediatric emergency services. Verify the exact private plan before relying on coverage.
Outdoor access rules differ between the botanical garden and the federal national park.

Settle placement and pickup

EAB's current and May 2024 documents describe different testing grade ranges. Give admissions the child's actual reports and support history, then ask for the current assessment and placement. British School Brasília uses a year-specific meeting and assessment. Neither application is a place guarantee.^{1,2,3,5,6,8,17}

The British School's general 3:30 p.m. finish differs from the 3:15 p.m. Early Years sample. After-school activities extend the general routine to 4:30 p.m. Confirm the actual class schedule and test the return journey at that time.^1,2,3,6

Use the complete rental details rather than reading cabinets as full furnishing or elevators as a continuous stroller route.

Arrange the child's care before arrival

Santa Lúcia Sul lists pediatric emergency, pediatric and neonatal intensive care, maternity and outpatient services. Its published contact is +55 61 3445 0000 at SHLS 716 Conjunto C, Asa Sul. Confirm the exact plan network and appointment route for the care you need.^11,15,19,20

For public primary care, ask the unit for your home's care route and bring the child's health records. National migrant guidance says missing identification or residence proof must not block primary care. It does not remove the need to organize continuing treatment.^7,18,21

Choose an outing the group can use

Jardim Botânico de Brasília is free on Sundays and holidays under its published rules. Ordinary visiting hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last paid entry at 4:30 p.m. The federal national park has separate charges and closures.^10,12,13

The national park's Julietti chair requires visitor-provided companions. Advance reservation is available and worth arranging before the outing. A park facility or apartment elevator does not establish the complete accessible journey. Read the outing details and the transport rules for the whole day.¹⁰

Questions people ask

Should I choose the apartment before applying to school?

If the move depends on a school, obtain its placement and support decision first. Then test the route from the actual home, including afternoon pickup and activities.

Which documented home has three suites?

Coemi CO10385 on Rua 14 in Águas Claras Norte. It lists four bathrooms, two parking spaces and elevators. Cabinets do not establish full furnishing, and the school journey still needs testing.

Is there a private pediatric emergency lead?

Santa Lúcia Sul publishes adult and pediatric emergency services at SHLS 716 Conjunto C, Asa Sul. Contact +55 61 3445 0000 and confirm the exact policy and service arrangements.

Can I use the 2026 public enrollment notice for next year?

No. It describes a past October 2025 application window and January 2026 enrollment, and says registration is closed. Ask SEEDF through 156, option 2, about your actual arrival and school year.
