On this paper we explore INEP’s databases looking for information about curriculum in Brazil. School census’ data, while limited in this sense, show that: a) more frequent disciplines, taught to at least 90% of Elementary and High-school education students are: Portuguese, Mathematics, History, Geografia, Sociology/Social Studies, Philosophy, and Science (or Chemistry, Physics, Biology); b) Philosophy and Sociology were quickly introduced in the school quotidian, growing from 40% to 90% in four years; c) Physical Education is also available to most of the students (88%); d) Arts is more present in Elementary Education (89%) than High School (66%), while the opposite happens with English (57% and 86% respectively); e) as a whole, 34% of students attend Religious Education, 89% of which from public schools and 0,6% from confessional schools. Some interpretations of these results have been outlined.
