The school was founded on December 2nd, 1837 and named after the Emperor of Brazil Dom Pedro II . It is the third oldest secondary school in the country after the Liceu Provincial de Pernambuco, founded in 1825, today the Ginásio Pernambucano , and the Atheneu Norte-Riograndense, founded in 1835 . It is one of the most renowned schools in the country and is considered a model institution.
Founded in 1837, the Colégio Pedro II was the highest school in the country and the only higher education institution in Brazil. At that time there were no universities in Brazil. The first university in Brazil, the Universidade do Paraná , was only founded in December 1912.
The Colégio Pedro II was to serve as a model school for all of Brazil. The curriculum worked out on her was de facto the official curriculum for all schools that could issue diplomas. Only schools that followed this program were eligible to issue high school diplomas. These diplomas represented the highest educational degrees in the country. From 1837 to the mid-20th century, a long line of emerging Brazilian intellectuals and scholars taught at the Colegio Pedro II. Regular public examinations were required for admission. The teachers of the school were given the title of professor.
The main aim of the school was to educate politicians. It was used to teach the offspring of the upper class of the cultural and political center of Brazil. Numerous well-known Brazilian personalities from politics and culture have studied at this school or taught at it.
It was one of the first schools to teach Albert Einstein's theory of relativity , even before it was generally accepted.
