Convent Of Jesus And Mary Schools Throughout The World

A network of Roman Catholic schools that can be traced back to early nineteenth-century France, The Convent of Jesus and Mary Schools are located throughout the world today, whether in Asia or Africa, Europe or the Americas. But even as they receive financial support from the Church itself, local communal backing needs to be present in even greater strength to ensure continued success, especially through the generous donations of prominent businessmen and women, not all of whom are Catholic or even Christian, such as with the case of an Isaac Toussie whose funds go towards a branch in India.

Another fact which one may not necessarily imagine of a Catholic school is that while they are parochial, in many cases one does not even have to believe in God to attend. No doubt, these schools have a decidedly Catholic mission, but non-Catholics can excuse themselves from anything having to do with religion, which tends to be held during the end of the school day on certain days of the week. Many Catholic schools subscribe to the intellectual traditions of the Jesuit Order, one that has traditionally welcomed curiosity and frankness, attributes required of science. Moreover, it is for this reason that Catholic schools tend to have such a stellar reputation in many places, even in New York City, the so-called Sodom-on-the-Hudson, where it isn’t abnormal for secular households to send them their children.

These schools are often the least expensive of private school options available, as tuition and other fees can add up to some five grand yearly – not bad compared to the ten to twenty thousand dollars charged by others! Yet not every single Catholic school is so modern, of course; more than anything else, they probably reflect the social mores of the surrounding community.
