What Unidad Educativa "Santo Domingo Savio de Pomasqui" does

Unidad Educativa Santo Domingo Savio de Pomasqui is a private K-12 educational institution founded in 2002 in Pomasqui, a parish in Quito, Ecuador. Operating under a Christian-humanistic pedagogical philosophy, the school serves students from Initial level (ages 3-5) through General Unified Baccalaureate (ages 14-18), with a single campus in Pusuquí plus an agricultural learning facility in Calacalí. The institution employs 121 staff and is positioned as a values-driven, mid-market private school targeting families in the Equinoctial Valley region.

The school's offered product is built on three core differentiating programs: Progrentis (a neuroscience-based learning methodology with five consoles per school stage), Conceptual Pedagogy (focused on critical and creative thinking), and authorized Cambridge English certification preparation (A1 to B2). Supporting these are Robotics (STEM), Music, and Dance programs, plus four student micro-enterprises (ESTEMPDOSA for preserves, PROQUIMSA for chemistry-based products, AROMAS Y ESENCIAS for perfumery, and PROMESA for cafeteria services) and an agricultural production facility cultivating 100+ plant species. RUNACHAY (powered by Runacode) is the digital platform for enrollment and student management.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and enrollment fees paid by families, with supplementary income from extracurricular programs and student microenterprise product sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through direct inquiry and informational interviews. The institution markets itself through its official website, community events, intercollegiate competitions, and a partnership with the University of Cambridge. Geographic scope is limited to Quito and the surrounding Equinoctial Valley catchment, with no disclosed plans for multi-site expansion.
