Mission

We are a private, state-subsidized educational center that shares with parents the task of educating their children in accordance with the Christian conception of man, life, and the world. We promote close relationships and welcoming listening, which involves paying special attention to tutoring and guidance.

We form an educational community in which all members work as a team, incorporating the human, material, and technical resources, methodologies, and guidance processes necessary to achieve the comprehensive formation of the person, in accordance with the values promoted by the Center. We are coordinated by a team of teachers, both religious and secular, who fully identify with the character of the Center.

The Gospel message and the charism of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart provide the meaning and foundation of our mission and lead us to make organizational, pedagogical, and didactic changes to promote the personal growth of all students. We understand educational action from the perspective of collaboration, responsibility, closeness, and from the heart.

We contribute to society with our critical view, sensitive to suffering and needs, concerned with empathy, solidarity, and justice. This sensitivity is transformed into educational actions that bring hope and lead to social commitment on the part of our students.
