To serve is to love. To transform is to educate.
At Heavenly International School, educating for life includes educating for others. True excellence is born from a compassionate heart and hands willing to serve. Therefore, we promote a profound human and social education that unites faith, empathy, and concrete action, preparing our students to be protagonists in a more just, supportive, and fraternal society.
Love that becomes action
Inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we encourage the development of social responsibility and humanitarian awareness from an early age through real acts of charity, justice, and solidarity.
“To be in solidarity is to give the best of oneself for those who suffer.”
—Pope Francis
Our Social Participation program, integrated into Catholic Formation, invites students to live their faith authentically: not only knowing the Gospel, but putting it into practice—with their hearts, minds, and hands.
Educating to Transform
Created in 2013, the Educating to Transform project is the backbone of our social action. It connects all school segments—from Kindergarten to High School—involving families, educators, and partner institutions in continuous actions of impact and solidarity.
This journey is built with intentionality, sensitivity, and spirituality, promoting:
- Empathy and active listening;
- A sense of purpose and collective responsibility;
- Real emotional bonds with those who need it most.
Educating to Transform is more than a project; it is a culture that prepares our students to be instruments of change in the world, guided by the values of the Gospel.
Social Participation
Present in the Middle School curriculum (Grades 6-9), the subject of Social Participation is a concrete expression of our evangelizing mission. More than teaching content, it invites students to live their faith in action, being a light, a listener, and a presence in the lives of those most in need.
From the first school years, children experience visits, campaigns, acts of care, and presence in social institutions, developing:
- Authentic charity;
- Social justice;
- Apostolic zeal
No Ensino Fundamental 2, a disciplina culmina com o Heavenly Talks, um momento de protagonismo em que os alunos apresentam os projetos sociais desenvolvidos ao longo do ano. A iniciativa celebra a criatividade, a empatia e o impacto gerado por eles, revelando os frutos concretos de uma educação integral enraizada na fé e no serviço.
Human Formation:
Throughout high school, students experience the Human Formation subject as a space for personal, ethical, and spiritual growth and development. More than just content, the aim is to provide a weekly time for pause, reflection, and dialogue, in which young people can reconnect with their values, rethink their attitudes, and strengthen their identity as individuals and as Christians.
In this space, themes such as self-knowledge, vocation, affection, spirituality, ethics, digital culture, discernment, and leadership with values are addressed dynamically and relationally, always in the light of the Catholic faith. The subject also offers moments of prayer, listening, and guidance, helping students to mature emotionally and spiritually, in tune with the challenges of the modern world.

In Human Formation, our students learn that being a light in the world begins by illuminating their own conscience—and that true leadership is built on empathy, faith, and a sense of purpose.
Because educating, for Heaven, is also about transforming Earth.
At Heavenly, faith and action go hand in hand. Every act of solidarity is a seed of the Kingdom planted in reality.
