Our history

“CEL was born out of a great ideal and a great passion for education. From a passion that predates my own story. History of Antônia Vargas Cuquejo, the grandmother of CEL. The great grandmother who, in addition to educating, brought dreams by telling stories. Antônia Vargas Cuquejo, founder of CEL, helped to make dreams come true.”

The history of CEL is also linked to the life story of Antônio Fernandes Cuquejo, our dear founder.

Speaking of the CEL is to speak of the red kite. The kite is the symbol of the CEL.

It is red because it represents action, struggle, courage, dynamism, blood, warrior, strength, faith and love.

“When I idealized the kite as a symbol for CEL, I was thinking about education. The kite longs for great flights, for freedom… However, as it is made of very delicate material, it cannot be exposed without care. The kite must be protected from the gales of life. It needs to be collected in the face of great dangers.”

“At fourteen, full of dreams, I started working at a small school. Fed the dreams, I fell in love. It then became impossible to free myself from this passion for education.”  

 

Increasingly believing, I followed. I continued…

Then, CEL was born. It was born more than four decades ago. It was born in a house in Jardim Botânico. We were, then, a small constellation. A constellation of only thirteen stars, but with a very strong mark. A determined brand with an upward direction.

It is because we believe in CEL so much …

It’s because we take care of CEL so much …

I am sure that in a few years, we will look at the sky and, with the naked eye, we will be able to see a new constellation – The Kite.

The stars are you, teachers and students who helped to build CEL. Thank you for everything.”
