Bilingual education is a current subject, which has been increasingly gaining space in Brazilian education. The goal of this article is to reflect on bilingual immersion schools (Portuguese / English) and international schools in the city of São Paulo, through highly explored topics related to this subject, such as: the growth of the number of bilingual schools, the definition of a bilingual school, the current Brazilian legislation regarding the regulation of this kind of school, and what it is to be a bilingual person. In addition, the text refers to the appropriate professional training and the periodic and systematic supervision of immersion and international schools. After all, bilingualism is an educational necessity of contemporaneity and needs to be deepened. The result of this theoretical research remains open, mainly due to the lack of a standard of bilingual schools and a lack oftheoretical background, and also because of the secrecy required by the schools in relation to the methodology.
