Colégio São Luís is a co‑educational private Catholic Jesuit school in Brazil that blends a bespoke curriculum with the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the British curriculum for a rigorous, internationally minded education. The Ignatian pedagogy centers the student in an integral formation across intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and cultural dimensions, guided by the PEC and the Rede Jesuíta de Educação, and anchored by BNCC and UNESCO guidelines. Students develop five core competencies—Competentes, Conscientes, Criativos, Comprometidos, Compassivos—through a revised curricular matrix and active, autonomous learning. Assessment is semestral: descriptive reports in early years; AV1–AV4 and an annual final average in older years, with an option to take the IB Diploma in High School. The Ibirapuera campus (opened 2020) spans 28,000 m2, featuring science labs, a Maker Space, a library, a chapel, theatres, and a comprehensive sports complex, including a semi‑Olympic pool and track. Cambridge English preparation is also offered to families.
