Casa Caetano de Campos, Educational building in República District, São Paulo, Brazil

Casa Caetano de Campos is a school building in the República District of São Paulo, inaugurated on 2 August 1894 to house the First Normal School of the Capital. It later sheltered the Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters during the founding of the University of São Paulo in 1934, and since around 1978 has served as the headquarters of the São Paulo State Education Secretariat.

The first Escola Normal de São Paulo opened in 1846 next to the Sé cathedral, closed in 1867, reopened in 1874, and moved several times. The current building was inaugurated on 2 August 1894 for the Escola Normal Caetano de Campos, named after its director Antônio Caetano de Campos. In 1934 it housed the Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras during the creation of the University of São Paulo.

The school was named after Antônio Caetano de Campos, a physician and professor who directed the institution during the reform of São Paulo's education system. Its 1894 opening embodied the early Republic's push to secularize primary teaching and spread the intuitive method of Pestalozzi, a shift drafted by journalist Francisco Rangel Pestana.

The building stands at Praça da República near the metro station of the same name and is easily reached by public transport. It is worth exploring the surroundings since several other historical buildings and public spaces are located nearby.

In the 1970s the Red Line metro project proposed placing República station beside the building, and demolition was discussed. The proposal was rejected, and in 1978 the Condephaat listed the building as historic heritage for its architectural and historical relevance. The school had already moved out and the renovated building became the seat of the São Paulo State Education Secretariat.
