Salesianos de Évora

What Salesianos de Évora does

Salesianos de Évora is a Catholic educational institution operated by Fundação Salesianos, a non-profit religious foundation belonging to the Salesians of Don Bosco network. Founded on February 19, 1926 — making 2026 its centenary — the institution operates a single campus at Av. S. João Bosco, 4 in Évora, Portugal, delivering a continuous educational pathway from Creche (nursery, 0–3 years) through Pre-school, the three cycles of basic education (primary through grade 9), and Ensino Secundário (secondary education including Sciences and Technologies, Socioeconomic Sciences, and Languages and Humanities tracks). The institution is led by Director Pe. David Teixeira and holds Alvará de Funcionamento Nº 2161 from the Portuguese Ministry of Education.

The business operates a multi-vertical ecosystem beyond core academics. ArtiSport provides extracurricular sports and arts programs (futsal, basketball, volleyball, swimming, music via Musicentro, and holiday camps); SolSal (Solidariedade Salesiana) runs social solidarity services including a food bank that distributed 28,310 kg of food, 4,428 non-food items, and 406 medicines in 2025; and the Paróquia de Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora (created 1967, the only Salesian parish by that name in Portugal) reaches approximately 14,000 inhabitants through catechesis serving 200+ children with ~30 catechists. The subsidiary structure is wholly owned by Fundação Salesianos and includes ArtiSport, SolSal, the Parish, and Scout group Agrupamento 320.

Revenue is generated primarily through monthly tuition fees structured as 10–11 monthly installments per academic year (September–July for Creche/Pre-school; September–June for basic and secondary), with pricing variants offering 2.5% credit for other services, 2% immediate discount, or 1.5% reduction for direct debit. A €100 non-refundable application fee applies for new students. Supplementary revenue comes from extracurricular activities (ArtiSport, Musicentro, holiday camps) and a token donation pipeline through Fundação Salesianos' IRS tax consignation scheme, which raised €14,883 from 142 donations in 2025. The customer base is exclusively B2C families in the Alentejo region, with no enterprise or geographic expansion. Underlying technology is limited to standard school management platforms (DNA Online, E-Scola, online application portal) with no proprietary AI, APIs, or disclosed integrations.

Others
