ABOUT US

Centro Infantil & Externato Junica was founded in January 15th, 2006, in Machava-Bedene, Matola, the result of the dream of a woman passionate about education and children's cognitive development. We offer a completely renovated and equipped space, set in a harmonious and pedagogically prepared environment, capable of fully meeting the demands and care that quality education requires. At the Centro Infantil & Externato Junica, we provide a wide range of curricular and extracurricular activities, with the main goal of giving students the tools they need to discover their talents and vocations. We believe that cultural diversity and individual differences are factors that enrich the education and development of our students, promoting inclusive and excellent education.

The emergence of Junica Junica arises from the dream of a great woman who is the current General Director of the Institution who, from being a state employee to a small entrepreneur, thought of opening a Kindergarten. So she imagined the name, in meditation it occurred to her the agglutination of four names of her family, her husband and her children (Junior, Nicole, Cardoso and Clara), resulting in Junica. At first, Junica operated in a rented house with only Kindergarten, in 2006, with only 15 children. The number went up to 70. It had only one mini-bus for transporting children.

In 2007, the first students of Kindergarten graduated and in 2009 began teaching the 1st class that operated in the garage of the Kindergarten with a class of only 10 students. While operating in Junica 1, in the rented house she made efforts to acquire the land for the construction from scratch, which came to fruition. The current Junica was then built, called Junica 2 at the time. Junica 2 began operating in 2010, in its own facilities, where it is currently besieged and gradually the infrastructure was erected and finally the Kindergarten and the Primary School began to operate in Junica 2, a reason for jubilation for the Board and all the employees who were motivated to see the growth for which everyone aspired.

It is so true that actions speak louder than words, at that time Junica was not very well known, nor was it very widespread in the media, however the actions of giving better quality of education, use of better teaching methods, dedication and teamwork spoke for themselves. As a result, in 2011 Junica had a higher number of new admissions in the two subsystems, Kindergarten and Complete Primary School. Over time, the infrastructure has expanded, until then it is operating with three gigantic pavilions, in which children from the Kindergarten, students from the Primary and Secondary Schools are housed, that is, Junica teaches from the 2nd year of schooling to the 12th grade. The desires are increasing, perhaps to "dream" of the introduction of Higher Education, in a few years to close the educational cycle. To this end, we work hard, under the school motto:
Educar é Semear Com Sabedoria!
