60 Years of History: A Message from Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional’s CEO

Six decades ago, a small flame was lit — and since then, it has grown into a constellation of stories, institutions, and lives that came together to build something far greater than any one of us could have imagined alone.

Over this period, we have witnessed the impact of education in all its dimensions. Thousands of students have walked our corridors, bringing with them hopes, questions, and discoveries. They left carrying knowledge, opportunities, and the ability to transform the world around them. Each diploma awarded is, in truth, a chapter in a greater story: that of a country moved by the strength of education.

Looking back, we see how much we have grown. Each institution that joined Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional brought its own identity, culture, and unique contribution. Together, we have become a living network — one that honors its roots while remaining open to the future.

This anniversary is both an invitation to celebration and a call to responsibility. A celebration of every achievement, every professor who devoted their life to teaching, every colleague who believed in the mission, and every student who dared to dream. And a responsibility to keep this flame burning, ensuring that education continues to be the path toward individual and collective transformation.

As we mark our 60th anniversary, we reaffirm our purpose: to guide learning and inspire students to transform their future and create a positive impact in their communities.

May the next 60 years be even more inspiring.”

Renato Padovese
President of Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional
