Instituto Salesiano (or IS, Instituto Salesiano da Imaculada Conceição, Chinese: 澳門慈幼中學) is a Catholic elementary school through secondary school in São Lourenço (St. Lawrence's Parish), Macau.[1] The school is one of the oldest educational institutions founded in Macau. The medium of instruction is English, although some particular subjects such as Chinese Literature and Chinese History are taught in Cantonese. It is a member of the Macau Catholic Schools Association.
History
[edit]Instituto Salesiano was established in 1906, during the Qing dynasty, by Fr. Louis Versiglia.[2][3] The school is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, aims at giving the students a complete and balanced education in different aspects. The campus, front of St. Lawrence's Church, was originally owned by the British East India Company. Since 1976, the school has become an exam center of General Certificate of Education as well as an exam center of City and Guilds of London Institute.
People's Education profiled the school in 1999.[4] The school opened three new buildings in 2023 with funding from the government.[5]
Campus
[edit]In 2016 the 8,008-square-metre (86,200 sq ft) campus included a building that was built sometime before 1916. In 2016 the school made plans to raze the building so it could build new buildings as part of an expansion.[6]
