COENSFA

What COENSFA does

COENSFA (Cooperativa Educacional Nossa Senhora de Fátima) is a private cooperative educational institution founded in 1956 in Mateus Leme, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The school operates from a single campus on Avenida Getúlio Vargas and delivers K-12 education spanning Early Childhood Education (Educação Infantil, including Maternal II and III and the 1st and 2nd Períodos), Elementary School (Ensino Fundamental, Anos Iniciais years 1-5 and Anos Finais years 6-9), and High School (Ensino Médio, 1st through 3rd séries). Its service area explicitly extends to families in both Mateus Leme and the neighboring municipality of Juatuba through co-curricular offerings such as the Soccer Trainer sports program.

The school's core technology layer is built on its partnership with Bernoulli Sistema de Ensino, a recognized Brazilian educational content and methodology provider. Through this partnership, COENSFA delivers structured curriculum and a multi-platform digital ecosystem that includes Meu Bernoulli 4.0 (MB 4.0) for student portal access, Bernoulli XP for advanced interactive content, Bernoulli Play for video-based learning, and the Ulli GPT-3 AI learning assistant. Additional integrations include EDUXE's Eduxe Go student platform and teacher portal, Upmat Educacional for mathematics resources, and Google for Education productivity tools. The school also operates the FECOTEC annual Science and Technology Fair across three tiers (KIDS, JÚNIOR, JOVEM) with a virtual laboratory component and participates in the international Canguru de Matemática Brasil competition. Hybrid learning methodologies and an Educational Bookstore service complement the core K-12 offering.

COENSFA's business model is tuition-based recurring revenue, with families enrolling students directly through the school's administrative office via phone, WhatsApp, email, and a Google Forms waiting list. Tuition fees are not publicly disclosed and are negotiated or communicated through direct contact with the administration. The school pursues a direct-to-consumer go-to-market strategy, reaching prospective families through its website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr), and community events such as the annual Arraiá, civic and cultural moments, and FECOTEC. There is no third-party distribution, no franchising model, and no online-only delivery — all educational services are tied to the physical Mateus Leme campus.
