Integral formation

Forming upright men

The Academy is for boys only, and is placed under the special protection of Saint John Bosco.

We live his spirituality and his educational principles every day, around five key principles.

  • Joy, a sign of the Holy Spirit's presence in our souls.
  • Trust, as the foundation of all educational work.
  • Family spirit, which makes possible a delicate and universal brotherly charity.
  • The Preventive System, based on knowing each boy well and constantly encouraging him to give his best.
  • Initiative and creativity, especially for the boys in lycée.

A life set to the rhythm of music

Each week, according to their age, our boys give between 6 and 12 hours to music — theory, ensemble work or individual practice. A daily discipline that trains the ear, the hand and the sensibility.

The demands of an excellent education

To combine studies and music, we use a method that does more, and better, in less time: small classes, dedicated teachers, differentiated teaching and individual tutoring.
