Colégio Militar do Rio de Janeiro

The Colégio Militar do Rio de Janeiro occupies a large building complex with educational facilities, parade grounds, and administrative sections in São Francisco Xavier street.

Established on May 6, 1889, through an imperial decree, the institution began its operations in the former Palacete do Barão de Itacurussá building.

The school maintains military traditions through ceremonial activities, uniforms, and educational programs that combine academic excellence with military discipline.

Students at Colégio Militar receive specialized education following Brazilian military standards while preparing for higher education and potential military careers.

In 1989, after a century of male-only education, the institution admitted its first female students, leading to Priscila Alvares becoming the first female colonel-student in 2005.
