Integral formation

Forming upright men

The Academy takes boys only, under the special protection of Saint John Bosco.

We live his spirituality and his educational principles every day, along five lines of force.

  • 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, grounded in knowing each boy and in a constant motivation to draw the best out of him.
  • Initiative and creativity, especially for the boys in lycée.

01 Artistic pillar

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 demand that forms the ear, the hand and the sensibility.

The demand of an excellent schooling

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

Under the protection of Saint John Bosco
