Divine Providence School

What Divine Providence School does

Escola Divina Providência (Divine Providence School) is a private K-12 educational institution headquartered in Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, founded in 1969 by Dona Diva Saraiva and currently led by Director Dona Beth. The school operates a single campus on Av. Prof. Pedro Clarismundo Fornari with approximately 6,000 m² of green space, delivering the full Brazilian educational cycle from Berçário (nursery) through Ensino Médio (high school), including Educação Infantil, Ensino Fundamental Anos Iniciais, Ensino Fundamental Anos Finais, and the Novo Ensino Médio with electives and itineraries. Core academic services are supplemented by an extended-hours Escola O Dia Todo program and a layered set of special projects: Divina High School (bilingual dual-diploma program with Franklin Virtual High School since 2017), Divina Cultural (music, theater, arts), Divina Esportes (sports), Projeto Integração (social service), Oficina de Robótica (robotics/OBR), Iniciação Científica Júnior (scientific research), and NBA Basketball School.

The school runs on a tuition-based subscription revenue model with monthly billing, complemented by ancillary fees for transportation, uniforms, and extracurriculars; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is administered directly through the school's secretaria. Technology underpinning delivery is Microsoft Teams with OneNote digital notebooks for coursework, research, and student progress tracking — the foundation of the school's 2020 Microsoft Brasil success case during COVID-19. Distribution is purely direct: families enroll via phone, email, in-person visits, or the restricted-area re-enrollment portal, with lead generation driven by a content marketing blog (Acontece), Instagram/Facebook/YouTube presence, a 360° virtual tour, and recurring community events such as Divina Mostra, Divina Musical, and gincana competitions.

The customer base is regional B2C families in Jundiaí and surrounding São Paulo state areas seeking private, full-lifecycle schooling with bilingual/international credentials and olympiad-grade extracurriculars. Ownership is founder/family-controlled with no disclosed venture, private equity, or institutional investment; the operating entity is registered in Brazil as a private educational institution with a headcount band of 101–250 employees.
