It is part of the Rede Salesiana Brasil and focuses on academic excellence combined with Christian values and the Salesian Preventive System.

Teaching approach

The school is guided by the Salesian Preventive System, a pedagogical approach based on the pillars of reason, religion, and 'amorevolezza' (affection). It promotes an integral education that seeks to develop the student's physical, psychic, and spiritual dimensions. The institution is committed to a humanistic and innovative project that values the student as a protagonist in their own learning process within a family-like, welcoming environment.

Programmes

The school offers a comprehensive academic pathway including Early Childhood Education (Maternal I to Infantil III), Elementary School (Anos Iniciais and Anos Finais), High School (Ensino Médio), and a Technical Course in Mechatronics. The curriculum utilizes specialized materials such as the 'Girolhar' collection for early years, 'Nautas' for elementary, and the SAS Education system for middle and high school. The pedagogical approach integrates active methodologies and digital learning tools to provide a dynamic and meaningful educational experience.

Outcomes

The school aims to form 'good Christians and honest citizens' who are prepared for the future with ethical values, social responsibility, and a clear life purpose. Graduates are expected to possess the academic, socio-emotional, and spiritual competencies necessary to pursue higher education and contribute to a more just and fraternal society. The curriculum is designed to foster autonomy, critical thinking, and the ability to build consistent life projects.
