Colégio Antônio Vieira

Colégio Antônio Vieira (CAV) is one of Salvador's most prestigious educational institutions, founded in 1911 by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in the Ondina neighborhood. The school offers preschool through high school education following the Brazilian National Curriculum (BNCC) with strong emphasis on Jesuit pedagogical values of academic excellence, ethics, and holistic student development. CAV prepares students rigorously for the ENEM and university entrance exams, with consistently outstanding results in Bahia. The school community of over 2,000 students benefits from modern infrastructure, sports facilities, science laboratories, and an arts center. Known for its commitment to social responsibility and faith-based education, CAV integrates community service into its curriculum. The Jesuit tradition of cura personalis — care for the whole person — guides its educational philosophy, producing graduates who are academically accomplished, ethically grounded, and socially conscious citizens.
