Escola Dom João Paulino (Chinese: 聖善學校) is one of the earliest schools built in Macau, established in 1911. Located on Taipa, it is operated by the Diocese of Macau.[1] It is a member of the Macau Catholic Schools Association.
It is named after, a bishop of the Diocese of Macau.
In 1895, the Canossian nuns opened catechism classes for local children, which became the predecessor of Escola Dom João Paulino.
In 1911, about 70 people were studying here. The school was built next to Our Lady of Carmel Church. After that, Priest Estevão Eusébio Sítu (Chinese: 司徒澤雄) took over the school and named it as Chinese: 聖善 (Jyutping: sing3 sin6, meaning "Holiness" in Chinese). The native-born Portuguese people called it Escola Dom João Paulino, which means "the School of Bishop João Paulino"
In 1938, the diocese allocated a building on No. 89-91, Rua Direita Carlos Eugénio for developing a complete primary school.[2]
The school has had 20 principals since its foundation.[3]
