The Basic Education Operations Board (DIREB) administers Mackenzie Basic Education area, currently comprising six Schools: Higienópolis and Tamboré (SP); Brasilia DF); Palmas (TO); ICC - Instituto cristão de Castro (PR), and EVB - Escola Vital Brasil (MT), as well as AEJAMack Philanthropic School (Literacy and Youth and Adult Education). The Mackenzie Presbyterian School of Brasília, is part of an autonomous Business Unit and has its own General Board, but DIREB maintains its pedagogical orientation. In 2018, these schools have about 9,300 students, who are educated for a full life. They are recognized for their holistic, efficient and harmonious approach to biblical principles and values, defined in the Institutional Identity of Mackenzie.

DIREB aims at the intense care with all the lives placed in our Schools, so that they receive an avant-garde education, through the effort and dedication of all associates in this mission and with the use of confessional materials of excellence, with full sustainability of all the activities. It collaborates with the other Boards, for the expansion of the Mackenzie and Christian influence, in all places in which God allows the implantation of new units.
