What Colégio Nossa Senhora de Sion - Curitiba does

Colégio Nossa Senhora de Sion - Curitiba is a Catholic K-12 institution founded in 1906 and operated by the Congregação de Nossa Senhora de Sion, a nonprofit religious congregation. It operates two campuses in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil: the Batel unit (Alameda Pres. Taunay, 260), serving Educação Infantil through Ensino Médio plus the Integral Plus full-day program and Escolinhas after-school activities, and the Solitude unit (Rod. Curitiba-Paranaguá, BR-277, 4761), offering the same academic levels plus the Integral program and the CEI – Ir. Isabel community early childhood social project. The school delivers the full Brazilian K-12 pathway grounded in the Montessori Method, Hélène Lubienska de Lenval's pedagogical approach, and the Ramain psychomotor method, with interactive digital materials, multimedia, and electronic whiteboards. Classrooms are supported by an online bulletin (Boletim Online via Delta SGE), a Microsoft 365-based Portal Office, an institutional app, and an online financial portal for tuition management.

The institution generates revenue primarily through recurring tuition billed per semester or annually for Educação Infantil, Ensino Fundamental (Anos Iniciais e Finais), and Ensino Médio across both campuses, with material fees for the Integral Plus program disclosed at R$372.30–R$410.73 per semester for 2025 and escolinhas (extracurricular) activities billed separately through partnerships with Phil Young, Aliança Francesa, and Paidéia Escola de Música. A second recurring-revenue line comes from Academia Sion, a fitness center operated by the school since 1988 at Av. Vicente Machado, 713 (Batel), open to the general public with monthly subscriptions (R$170 musculação; R$320–R$580 swimming/hydrogymnastics tiered by weekly frequency) plus a R$50 registration fee. The school is affiliated with the UNESCO Associated Schools Network and is part of a global Sion network of schools across nine countries (France, Turkey, England, Brazil, Australia, Costa Rica, Canada, USA), participating in national encounters such as the Encontro da Juventude Sionense. Prospect families convert through a dedicated visitor registration portal (visitas.sioncuritiba.com.br), with marketing concentrated on the institutional website, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
