Who is João Carlos di Genio?
João Carlos di Genio is a Brazilian physician and educator. He created and is the main owner of the largest educational holding in the country, comprised by the Sistema Objetivo and the Universidade Paulista, a private university with more than 60 campuses all over Brazil.
Di Genio started his educational career while he was a medical student at the University of São Paulo, in São Paulo in the 1960s. The mandatory entrance examination to the medical schools was increasingly tougher and many high school students. The inborn entrepreneurial spirit of di Genio led him to create a one-year preparatory pre-med course, initially in his own home. The success achieved by the course prompted him to establish a formal school, together with three of his colleagues, which was named Curso Pré-Vestibular Nove de Julho. This later became the Objetivo prep course. Other educational levels were subsequently added.
