The Beata Giovanna Institute is a Catholic educational center run by the Passionist Sisters of St. Paul of the Cross, a religious congregation founded in 1815, on the initiative of the Marquise Maria Maddalena Frescobaldi (1771 - 1839) and currently present in 25 countries of the world, mainly dedicated, according to the main institutional purpose, to the educational activity, also through the school.

 

The history of the Institute has its roots in the nineteenth century.

 

The arrival of the Passionist Sisters in Signa dates, in fact, to 26 March 1867, with temporary accommodation in the area known as the "Beatino", where they devoted themselves, immediately and profitably, to the education of the local youth.

 

The society of the time asked to meet poverty, perhaps offering hospitality to orphans and guaranteeing them an education and a job.

 

"Villa Michelozzi" (later named after the Blessed Giovanna da Signa) arrived, in a very short time, to host over 70 girls, between those with an internal boarding school and external ones, who went there to receive adequate education.

 

Around 1920, the actual school activity began with the Nursery and Elementary School. The Educandato, however, continued until the 1970s.

 

In '88 the Middle School was also born, whose activity continues today.

 

The "Beata Giovanna" Institute, both for the educational and the administrative part, is held by the Tuscan Province called "Addolorata" of the Institute of the Passionist Sisters, a civilly recognized Ecclesiastical Body (DPR n ° 250 of 03/24/1970) .

 

The school, over the years, faithful to its tradition, has been renewed to meet the needs of today's culture and territory, implementing changes to its structure that make it efficient and modern.

 

Currently the Institute is divided into Nursery School, Nursery School, Primary School and First Degree Secondary School.

It all started when the Metropolitan Archbishop of that time, Don Jose Gaspar de Afonseca e Silva, realized that he lacked a Catholic school in Tremembe and asked the Passionist Sisters to take on this task. The Superior Province took this project forward, and on December 23, 1940, she inaugurated the ORFANATO and EXTERNAL SANTA GEMA.

 

That was the year of the Canonization of SANTA GEMA GALGANI, and it was entrusted with the protection of the house intended for minors sent by the League of Catholic Ladies, a social assistance organization.

 

Over the years, the neighborhood gained new residents, and in 1946 the inner boys were transferred to the Educandário D.Duarte. And so the EDUCATIONAL SANTA GEMA was created.

On the occasion of the Revma visit. Mother General Tomazina Costa Bontorin, to Brazil, she brings a great desire, that of founding a new house, with the purpose of expanding the Congregation. The place chosen was the Holy Spirit. She was Provincial Superior at this time, Sister Antonieta Farani, who was also excited by this ideal and soon sought to fulfill her dream.

 

The Revmo. Father Fernando, Cp. resident in Colatina - Espírito Santo, had already made the invitation many times, but now, this was reality. On February 23, 1963, the first Sisters chosen for the foundation were Sister Angelica Fiorese, Sister Lucina, Sister Hermenegilda, accompanied by the Provincial Sister Antonieta Farani and the Sisters Matilde Teixeira and Rosa Trondi.

 

In March of the same year, school activities began. Two Sisters teach in the Parish Gymnasium the primary course and one in the Kindergarten.

 

The purpose for which this school was opened was to provide children and adolescents with an education focused on Christian values %u200B%u200Bof quality that contemplated the passion of Jesus. In the context of spirituality, the Sisters would take responsibility for the Eucharistic crusade, catechism, daughters of Mary and altar boys.

 

In the beginning it was called "Professional School John XXIII", with the passage of time it was renamed "Instituto João XXIII". Continuing this history since 1963 and being part of the Passionist Education Network, today it is called Passionist College John XXIII, named after the great Pope of Peace. This name was chosen on the occasion of the death of the Pope, who left great brands in the Church with great renovations always seeking Peace.

 

Passionist College John XXIII offers Infant Education (maternal I to Infant II) and Elementary Education I and II (1st to 9th year).

 

The College carries out in its daily life the Passionist Pedagogical Proposal, based on the goodness, firmness and memory of Christ's passion, providing students with learning in an innovative way without neglecting the Christian formation and the values %u200B%u200Bthat favor the construction of a more happy.

In 1936, St. Gabriel's Passionist College was born in São Vicente, at the time, called "Vila de São Gabriel".

 

The house received the convalescent sisters who needed the sea climate and the minors of Abrigo Santa Maria (São Paulo) under treatment. In 1940, the Orfanato São Gabriel began. In 1947, annexed to it, the external school begins to function.

 

He was authorized to change the denomination of Orfanato para Educandário São Gabriel in 1951, continuing the institution with the same task of educating, accepting the challenges of the moment, forming young people and children, from the point of view of values, thus placing the student as agent of its history.

 

In 2004 it was renamed Passionist Saint Gabriel College.

The Passionist College Our Lady of the Rosary has its history deeply linked to the history of the Catholic community of Colombo. Their longing was for their children to attend a school environment in which they could experience the Christian values %u200B%u200Band principles that guided their families.

 

The Passionist Sisters were present in Colombo from 1927 to 1933 when the school was called Educandário Santo Antonio and succeeded the Sisters Keepers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Due to internal difficulties of the community they left the city and returned in 1951, succeeding the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambéry. Since then the school has been renamed Educandário Nossa Senhora do Rosário.

 

The motivations that guided this educational work from the beginning were to develop the educational activities associated with the pastoral work. The Sisters always felt very close to the local people who supported them in their tasks, always receiving a lot of understanding and affection, since they hoped to find in the Sisters besides the moral, intellectual and religious formation, the spiritual comfort derived from Passionist spirituality. Thus, they developed activities in close communion with the Parish in the many pastoral activities that animated the life of the people.

 

The city of Colombo continued its walk conserving its colonial physiognomy at the same time that its surroundings grew intensely.

 

The Passionist College Our Lady of the Rosary also experienced a development that was expressed through the changes operated in its interior: in 1971 it was renamed Nossa Senhora do Rosário School with the implementation of the new National Law.

 

In 1996 it implements its educational service offering the teaching of grades 5-8. In 2002 the High School is started and it is called the Nossa Senhora do Rosário College. Thus, the development process was happening without interruption following the real requirements of history.

 

Today Passionist College Our Lady of the Rosary continues education, always in a new and current way, without losing the motivation and the quality that accompanied it in all its days.

 

In order to develop its educational activities it offers a modern physical structure according to the standards of a quality educational entity to build an educational history, always in a new way and with renewed ardor and prophetic voice, seeks to concretize in its everyday life its motto: Educating for the Life.

 

It maintains the courses: Infant Education, Elementary School, High School.

 

It is part of the Passionist Education Network and is maintained by the Child Protective Association - Paraná Province

The arrival of the Passionist sisters to Cascavel was at the request of the local bishop who entrusted to the sisters the guidance of the families and educational work in the Municipal School "Atilio Destro," together with five other Schools and the own evangelizing activity of the Diocese. This first work took place in the Garden of Italy in the year 1981.

 

In 1982 they began a new work in Jardim Gramado. The reason for the sisters to take up the mission in Jardim Gramado at this time was due to the need of the population who resided in this place. Families were very needy, so mothers needed to work outside the home in order to complete the family budget, and the children had nowhere to stay, and were at risk for life by staying home alone. Seeing this reality, the Passionist Sisters decided to build a Day Care Center to serve the needy children from 2 to 6 years.

 

The day care center was inaugurated on February 23, 1983, with the presence of Archbishop Armando Círio, Provincial of the Sister Maria Augusta Passionist Sisters, and the Municipal Mayor Dr. Fidelcino Totentino.

 

From its inauguration until today, the Passionist Sisters welcome and accompany the educational process of the children, with tenderness, affection and dedication. Providing all the necessary care for a good physical, mental and psychic development.

 

Today, CEIP John Paul II assists, on average, over 80 full-time children, supplying their basic needs for food, hygiene and activities of the kindergarten, as well as the human and Christian formation of our children.

 

Through play activities and meaningful learning, the relationship and respect are emphasized in everyday life: with oneself, with others, with nature and with God, developing autonomy, responsibility and a healthy and harmonious coexistence.

 

The community served is composed of a population of needy families. A part of land invaders where there is constant danger of violence, children in the streets, families disaggregated, lack of security even in the families themselves. Another part of the children served is from paper scavengers and live in the land of invasion where there is no basic sanitation. The others are employees of companies located near the School and that seek to improve their living conditions; the majority of mothers work as day laborer or domestic worker. The salary measure of the parents is a minimum wage. Others live on family scholarships. We also have parents in prison and many parents separated.

 

C.E.I. Passionist John Paul II, sensitive to the needs that the region presents, offers this safe, quiet and welcoming space. Here they receive attention, dedication and preparation for later stages of their lives. Educating happiness for life is our educational goal. We seek to integrate parents in school life, with training meetings, meetings, personalized care, visits, so that the family feels responsible for the formation of their children and also finds solutions to the difficulties in the family and in the community where live.

 

To the extent possible we do a personalized job with the children who need them, as well as with the parents to obtain a better result, always aiming at the integral development of all.

The PASSIONIST COLLEGE SANTA MARIA, in Praia Grande, was founded in January 1986 and is part of the Passionist Network of Education Colleges of the Congregation of the Passionist Sisters of São Paulo da Cruz, headquartered in São Paulo and headquartered in Italy.

 

The mission of the Sisters is to bring the person back to the heart of the Crucified and Risen Christ through education.

 

We are fully convinced that the College was consolidated in Praia Grande and in the metropolitan region of Baixada Santista for the quality of teaching, seriousness regarding the different procedures adopted, social responsibility, commitment to life, and solid tradition.

 

Currently we count on the classes of Infant Education to High School and Integral Period. Aiming for a fuller and healthier life, we offer students a range of extracurricular activities, respecting different age groups and individual interests, such as futsal, karate, dance, music and educational robotics.

 

It is also important to reaffirm our Passionist charism: Christ's unconditional passion for humanity, who has taken his love to its ultimate consequences, leaving us an eternal legacy of love and belief in the possibility of men of continuous transformation, conversion and redemption before the Sacred which is revealed in each one of our brothers. Passion that transcends the suffering of the cross to perpetuate the resurrection, the living Christ in our midst, strengthening our lives, extending His hands in an attitude full of bestowal and love.

 

Considering this foundation, our Pedagogical Proposal believes in the constant renewal of the human being and contemplates it in all its dimensions: cognitive, physical, emotional and spiritual. The school curriculum meets the demands of the modern world. And, it also contemplates the pillars proposed by UNESCO, preparing the students to "learn to be, to know, to do and to live", in the face of the adversities of a selective and globalized world.

 

Alumni graduated, formed families, and now return with their children. This is due to the confidence in the educational action guided by Passionist philosophy and principles.

 

COLLEGE SANTA MARIA, this is our Passionist way of being: up-to-date knowledge, alive, dynamic, solid and sensitive.

The current Santa Luzia Passionist College was founded in 2014 and received its operating license for Basic Education, Fundamental Course, initial years with authorization and approval Portaria 405/2014 - SEE-MG, publication MG 03/14/2014.

 

The College stands out through the mission of educating the human being integrally, based on ethical and Christian values in the pursuit of its full realization and commitment to a society of solidarity.

 

The institution aims to provide the development of a humanistic education, offering a project based on attitudes, skills and abilities, contributing to the exercise of a critical-reflective formation.

 

It develops a cooperative work between family and school in order to promote the integral development of the students in a psychopedagogical perspective. It prepares the student for autonomy and social insertion from (in) childhood to adolescence, respecting the individual reality of each being.

his college is the second '' aged '' son of the Passionist Education Network. It was born from the educational vocation of the Passionist Sisters who worked in the São Vicente de Paula Asylum 13 years ago, in the social promotion of the elderly and in the caring care of their lives.

 

In 1928 was acquired the area where the College and the Provincial Headquarters are currently. In it was a little house, a small orchard and a vegetable garden that at first was very useful for maintenance since that very difficult time. Little by little the educational dream was growing in the heart of the Sisters and they were looking at the new terrain with the purpose of realizing there the dream of a school.

 

It was only in 1939, after enlarging the small house that there was in the place with the construction of 3 classrooms, that the educational activities of the new school began.

 

The Virgin Mary, under the title of Our Lady Girl, was chosen as the patroness of the school and her beautiful image was placed in the Chapel, the heart of the school, and from there would proclaim to all generations the model of Christian and would be present in all walk of the Externato Passionist Nossa Senhora Menina, first name that received. Over the years, it was renamed Educandário Nossa Senhora Menina.

 

In 1965, with the opening of the junior high school, it was renamed Gymnasium Nossa Senhora Menina, and in 1969, with the opening of the Normal course, Nossa Senhora Menina College, which still holds the name of Nossa Senhora Menina School.

 

This school has always pursued its activities within a philosophy centered on the student who is his or her end and who continues to this day.

 

Currently Passionist College Passionist Nossa Senhora Menina presents an enviable structure for an educational institution. The orchard and the orchard no longer exist, but there are leafy trees that in the spring color the environment; there is no longer a large vegetable garden, replaced by huge blocks and sports gymnasium; but there is a small garden where small ones are initiated in the respect and preservation of nature.

 

The broad aspect of its courtyards, where respectfully the buildings that define the physical structure of the school are present, is a harmonious coexistence of natural factors and human work.

 

There are 29 classrooms and rooms for special services: Board, Secretariat, Treasury, Library, Pedagogical Coordination Service, Religious, Educational and Health Care, Reprographics, Teaching Material, Toys, Informatics, Science, Mathematics Laboratories , Robotics; special rooms for music, arts, pedagogic kitchen, ballet and karate.

 

For the practice of sports, indispensable for a process of integral education there is the Gymnasium of Sports and the polo sports court in a more open environment. To the delight of the little ones there is a playground equipped with children's appliances.

 

In the background, the '' Forest Sr. Antonieta Farani '' an area that is a natural temple represents not only a beautiful space for contact with nature for prayers and other reflection activities, but also a 'green space' for research where flocks of bird species make their nests or visit it assiduously.

 

Its covered patios are very large and perfectly meet the needs especially in winter when the cold reaches Curitiba inexorably.

 

Thus, we can affirm that through the years the Passionist Sisters have been able to accompany not only the material needs, adapting the school to the present demands. They have also been able to follow the pedagogical evolution by investing in the training of their educators and students so that today their methodology meets the current demands by preparing people to interact in the information society and not to be manipulated by it.

 

It currently has 500 students, 50 educators.

 

Passionist College Nossa Senhora Menina maintains the following levels of teaching:

Infant Education - Maternal I and II, Pre I, Pre II and Pre III

(children of two and a half to six years of age)

Elementary School - complete in its 8 grades

High school

 

In this way the Passionist College Nossa Senhora Menina prepares the child from the earliest age until his entrance to the University.

 

Passionist College Nossa Senhora Menina has its clientele coming from the nearest neighborhoods. Most of their students belong to new generations, children and grandchildren, of other students of this school. It is a school in which one realizes this family bond of generations.

When the Passionist Sisters arrived in South Janda in 1963, they set a new course in the development of the Congregation in response to their longing for evangelization from their educational mission.

 

South Jandaia also undertook its efforts to achieve its educational goals in the young city. As a lever of these efforts was a Christian, Catholic community that invited the Sisters to be companions of this enterprise.

 

On February 17, 1963, the Passionist Sisters arrived in Jandaia. Without a fixed residence, full of the missionary yearning were received with great affection by the population. They began to live in a small parish house and on the 18th began their educational activities in the Parish School, which was renamed Instituto São José. From the outset the number of students exceeded the possibility of the Sisters teaching for all and it was necessary to hire two more lay teachers.

 

The Sisters felt in a very favorable environment for their educational work and they were at their disposal to meet the expectations of those people who received them with such care.

 

The population hoped to find in the Sisters beyond the moral, intellectual and religious formation, also the spiritual comfort, proper of people close to Christ. Thus, they developed activities in close communion with the Parish and the Diocese, in the many pastoral activities that animated the life of the people.

 

The city of South Jandaia has made giant strides. The streets were paved bit by bit. The Mother Church was completed surrounded by a beautiful garden and many other improvements were implemented.

 

The São José Institute followed the same steps ... In 1967 it was already transferred to a larger house, a little house, a little school. In 1968 the new building for the residence of the religious community began.

 

The development process has been happening without interruption following the real requirements of history. Today Passionist School Saint Joseph continues to make education always in a new and current way without losing the quality that accompanied all his days.

 

It maintains the courses: Infant Education, Elementary School, High School, Extracurricular Free Courses and Professional Qualification Courses.

 

For all this dynamism corresponds a specific physical structure with a modern sports space built within the standards of a quality educational entity.

 

Since 1963, building an educational history, always in a new way and with renewed ardor and prophetic voice, seeks to concretize in its daily life its motto: Educating for Life.

In a neighborhood very different from what is today Tucuruvi, - few houses, little traffic, little commerce, very few schools, lots of green space - was founded the College São Paulo da Cruz. This was his first name.

 

It was 1934. Mother Annunciata Innanzi, then Provincial Superior and one of the founders of the Passionist Congregation in Brazil, was the one who idealized the founding of the new school that had two initial objectives: to respond to the appeals of the community of Tucuruvi, with a view to education and Christian formation of the children and enable a place of greater health for the sisters, because it was very close to the Serra da Cantareira.

 

The College São Paulo da Cruz began its educational activities on February 2, 1934 in a small rented house with two rooms. The initial enrollment was 64 students.

 

In 1936 the school was registered with the name Externato São Paulo da Cruz, but it continued to be known with its initial name.

 

In 1942 he was renamed Educandário São Paulo da Cruz, which he retained until 2004 when he returned to his initial name, when the Passionist Education Network was organized, being called Passionist College São Paulo da Cruz.

 

New constructions and reforms marked their history in the desire for a better service and well-being to the students and Sisters thus proving the dynamic and enterprising character of the Passionist Sisters in their educational mission.

 

In 1974 the so-called B block was built; in 1980 block C.

 

In 1995, the Recanto Paulo da Cruz Environmental Education Center was acquired, which integrates the College as a place for experimental, environmental, religious, recreational and family educational practice.

 

The last construction, block E, in 1998, resulted in the beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped building that makes up the beautiful and modern structure that this student presents today.

 

In addition to this physical structure, Passionist College São Paulo da Cruz seeks to carry out in its daily life the Passionist Pedagogical Proposal that draws inspiration from the formation of a personal vision for the personal and collective construction of an educational community where everyone can affirm: "Here we we are happy''.

 

In order to achieve its objectives, Passionist College São Paulo da Cruz continues education, always in an innovative and current way, without losing the motivation and the quality that has accompanied it since 1934.

 

In order to develop its educational activities it offers a modern physical structure according to the standards of a quality educational entity to build an educational history, always in a new way and with renewed ardor and prophetic voice, seeks to concretize in its everyday life its motto: Educating for the Life.
