UNISAL's mission is to develop the human person and the cultural heritage of society through research, teaching, higher education and the various services offered to communities.
The UNISAL is guided by a pedagogy based on reason, religion and Amorevolezza, values of the Preventive System of Don Bosco.
Amorevolezza is the key element of this pedagogy. This Italian word has no literal translation into Portuguese and is understood as kindness, affection, affection, love.
These values integrate all the actions of the Salesians.
