What Faculdade Montessoriano does

Colégio Montessoriano (legally Empreendimentos Educacionais Montessoriano, CNPJ 02.741.710/0001-06) is a private, family-owned K-12 educational institution operating from a single campus at Rua Abelardo Andrade de Carvalho, nº 05, Boca do Rio, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Founded approximately in 1982, the school serves families in Salvador across the full educational continuum — Ensino Infantil (Grupos 3-5), Ensino Fundamental Anos Iniciais (1º-5º ano), Ensino Fundamental Anos Finais (6º-9º ano), and Ensino Médio (1ª-3ª série) — with students prepared for the ENEM university entrance exam. The school maintains 23 employees and operates under a socio-interactionist pedagogical model aligned with Sistema Ético de Ensino, supplemented by the international Leader in Me (Líder em Mim) socio-emotional program.

The school's core commercial offering is a recurring subscription tuition model, with additional revenue per add-on from the Certified Bilingual Program (Projeto Bilíngue Certificável) delivered in partnership with Simple Education, and the Tempo Integral (Full-Time) program covering physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. The technology stack consists of third-party, non-proprietary platforms: SAE Digital (LMS), Activesoft (student information system), ClassApp (family communication), and Árvore (educational content). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through the school's website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and recurring community events (Arraiá do Monte, FESMONTE, Caminhada da Família). No external investors, parent company, or institutional funding have been disclosed; the company is privately held by what appears to be the founding family, with active promotion for 2026 enrollment.
