Anchieta College (Nova Friburgo)

Anchieta College is a private Catholic primary and secondary school located in Nova Friburgo, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It is named for the 16th century Jesuit missionary José de Anchieta.

Anchieta College was founded in April 1886 by Jesuit priests and brothers from the Roman Province.

It is currently a part of the Central-Eastern Brazil Province of the Society of Jesus.

[citation needed] The College opened in a large farm house on Burn Hill, known among Swiss settlers as "The Chateau," a name still applied to it by many in the city.
