Colegio Y Liceo San Juan Bautista

The school is part of the global Sa-Fa (Hermanos de la Sagrada Familia) educational network and focuses on providing an integral education that encourages students to discover the meaning of human life. Its pedagogical approach is rooted in Christian values, promoting critical thinking, teamwork, and the development of autonomy through active pedagogies that assume all students are capable of learning.

The school provides a structured educational path starting from Initial levels (Nivel 2-5), followed by Primary, and concluding with Secondary education. The Secondary programme includes 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, as well as a diverse Bachillerato (BD) offering various specializations such as Artistic, Biological, Scientific, Humanistic, Social-Economic, and Mathematics and Design. The curriculum integrates English language instruction, physical education, sports, and digital literacy.

The school provides specialized support services, including psychopedagogy departments tailored to different levels: Initial, Primary, 7th-9th grade, and Bachillerato. These departments work to support students' learning and emotional development throughout their academic journey.

The school accepts applications for the upcoming academic year between April and December. The process involves completing an online form for prospective students, followed by an informational interview with the school's communication department to discuss the educational project and family expectations.

The school operates on a standard academic calendar, with specific periods designated for accreditation and tribunalized examinations, such as those scheduled for July 2026. Examinations typically commence at 8:00 am, and students are required to present identification.

The institution operates two main locations: the primary school campus situated at Luis B. Cavia 2830 in Montevideo, and a sports field located at Ruta 101 Km 24500. The school provides dedicated spaces for library services, sports, and administrative support.

The school offers a range of extracurricular activities, including sports exchanges, such as the annual event with the Colegio Gabriel Taborin in Córdoba. Students also participate in community-focused initiatives like family volunteering, the 'Padrinos' (godparents) project connecting different grade levels, and cultural events like 'Cavia Lee'. Pastoral activities and spiritual formation are integral parts of the student experience.
