Education has always been a key element of the Marianist mission. The Marianists sponsor 18 secondary schools and three universities.
What does it mean to be a Marianist-sponsored school? It means that administration, teaching, and learning are focused on five “Characteristics of Marianist Education.”
A Marianist school:
- Educates for formation in faith
- Provides an integral, quality education
- Educates in the family spirit
- Educates for service, justice, peace and the integrity of creation
- Educates for adaptation and change
“Religion is not taught; it is communicated. Religion is installed more deeply in the spirits and hearts of the students through the atmosphere that permeates the school than through teaching.”
- Blessed William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the Marianist Family.
