Forming noble hearts, clear minds, and spirits ready to serve.
At Heavenly International School, educating good students is only part of our mission. Our commitment extends further: we aim to educate men and women of integrity, guided by truth, faith, and a love for others.
Therefore, the Virtues Program is a central pillar of our holistic education program. From the earliest years, it permeates the school routine, helping our students develop virtues such as courage, generosity, humility, gratitude, temperance, responsibility, and fortitude—attitudes that build character and inspire transformation in the world around them.
Do Kinder ao Ensino Médio:
uma construção intencional
From early childhood education onwards, our pedagogical actions are designed to foster socio-emotional and moral growth, involving students, teachers, and families. Over time, students symbolically construct their coat of arms of virtues—a personal identity based on conscious choices, empathy, self-control, and service.
Each virtue worked on is connected to a real-life situation, a concrete attitude, or a Christian inspiration—allowing the content to move beyond theory and become a practical action and a witness.
H•I•S Houses – Living Virtues in Community
At Heavenly International School, we believe that true formation also happens in everyday life, in small gestures and collective experiences. That's why we created the H•I•S Houses program, which unites faith, virtues, and community spirit in a unique journey for our middle school students.
Inspired by the saints of the Church, each House has its own color, virtue, motto, and festive day that reinforce its identity and sense of belonging. More than teams, the Houses are spiritual families, where each student finds a space to grow in cooperation, responsibility, respect, and friendship.
Throughout the year, the Houses participate in various challenges, including academic, sporting, artistic, social, and spiritual events, accumulating points, celebrating achievements, and learning that each victory is the result of unity and consistency. Every gesture counts: from punctuality and proper uniform use to taking a leading role in social campaigns, masses, and solidarity projects.
The Houses strengthen the sense of community and show that school life is also a school of virtues: order, courage, justice, charity, faith, hope, and humility. Virtues that don't remain on paper, but become concrete actions in daily life.
More than a competition, H•I•S Houses is a path of holistic development: it awakens talents, encourages care for others, and teaches that being a leader means serving. At the end of each stage, we celebrate the achievements of each House together, recognizing that the true prize is the formation of noble hearts, clear minds, and spirits ready to transform the world.
Heavenly in Motion: Purposeful Leadership in High School
In high school, our students are called to go further. Through the Heavenly in Motion program, young people put faith and virtues into action, developing original projects with social and evangelistic impact.
Organized into teams, they undergo a process of listening, analysis, and action, guided by mentors and supported by the institution. Projects can cover themes such as:
- Social justice and solidarity;
- Education and culture;
- Sustainability
- Spiritual guidance;
- Support for needy institutions.
This journey is a true school of leadership: students learn to research, plan, serve, and present their ideas with clarity, purpose, and empathy.
Educating in virtues is educating for eternity.
At Heavenly, training leaders isn't just about preparing them for college entrance exams or the job market—it's about preparing them for a life of meaning, responsibility, and faith.
Because in the end, the greatest victory isn't about being the best in the world, but the best for the world.
