Think big. Live with purpose. Learn to transform.
At Heavenly International School, true learning occurs when academic excellence and socio-emotional development are integrated, as inseparable components of the same formative process. Therefore, we have structured our socio-emotional curriculum into seven tracks: Responsible Leadership, Self-Knowledge and Self-Care, Empathy and Cooperation, Responsibility and Citizenship, Communication and Argumentation, Work and Life Project.
These learning paths are directly linked to the academic curriculum, so that each topic covered in the classroom also becomes an opportunity to cultivate essential life skills. In this way, we ensure that our students develop not only intellectual knowledge, but also fundamental skills such as empathy, leadership, resilience, and ethical decision-making.
"One cannot truly teach without love, and one cannot love without truth. True knowledge must elevate the spirit to good."
— Saint Augustine
A Pillar
Academic excellence is one of the pillars that make up our holistic education. In line with the values of the H•I•S Catholic Network, we train young people who are capable of learning deeply and putting that knowledge to the service of their vocation and the building of a more just society, enlightened by faith.
"Education is not merely transmitting knowledge, but forming hearts capable of loving good and rejecting evil."
— Saint John Paul II
In a competitive and ever-changing global landscape, we offer a high-performance education, aligned with the best national and international practices, underpinned by a holistic view of each student: intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and human.
Competency-Based Education:
We adopt an approach based on the development of essential competencies, which are present in the most innovative schools around the world. Our students learn to learn, think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate, make decisions, and discern with freedom and responsibility.
Through learning scenarios, interdisciplinary projects, and problem-solving situations, we stimulate:
- Critical and creative thinking;
- Intellectual autonomy;
- Socio-emotional development;
- Ethical responsibility and a sense of purpose.
“The mind that opens itself to knowledge must also open itself to love and truth.”
— Pope Bento XVI.
