ABOUT US
Welcome to San Gabriel Private School
We are an educational community of the Society of Jesus in Ecuador, with over 160 years of history shaping conscious, competent, compassionate, and committed women and men. From early childhood through High School, we accompany our students in a formative journey that balances faith, knowledge, and action, inspired by Ignatian spirituality and guided by a strong vocation for service and social transformation.
We promote an education of academic and human excellence, supported by the InnovAcción XXI educational transformation project, which fosters the use of active methodologies, critical thinking, and student leadership. We are a space where each student can develop their potential, grow with commitment, and become an agent of change in their community, always under the loving guidance of Our Lady of Sorrows, whom we venerate with deep devotion as heirs of the Prodigy of Love of April 20, 1906.
