Vitae Success Stories: discover how our alumni have achieved remarkable professional accomplishments in the world of sports and health.

Stories
that inspire

We believe in the power of personal experiences to learn and also to communicate. That is why we dedicate a space to share inspiring stories of people who have passed through our classrooms and have taken everything they have learned at the school to their professional, sports, and life trajectories.

They are stories that make us proud, but not only because of what we could call professional success or triumphs, but also because they serve as a testament to how the Vitae Method has made a difference in their lives. They are examples of the impact of a comprehensive, person-centered, value-based education.
