About Us
Our history began with Saint Marcellin Champagnat, and since then, the Marist brothers and laypeople have been writing each chapter of this journey.
We are an Educational Network that brings together 96 Marist Basic Education units in Brazil. This includes 63 private schools and 33 free social schools, located in 22 states.
From Early Childhood Education to High School, our mission is to shape global citizens and leaders through educational and pastoral projects focused on academic excellence, human values, and innovative experiences that drive social transformation.
Bringing together values with an education grounded in a welcoming presence and respect for differences, our approach combines innovation and tradition to shape modern minds and timeless hearts, prepared for life’s challenges.
We walk together as one big family. A family of many ways, shapes, and accents. With many stories and experiences, but with a single purpose.
Our History
Driven by a spirit of solidarity and his deep connection with God, Marcellin Champagnat founded the Marist Institute in 1817, in La Valla, France.
His mission was to make Jesus Christ known and loved, inspired by Mary of Nazareth, whom he called Good Mother. This mission gave rise to a story that combines evangelization, solidarity, education, and respect for people.
The Marist International educational community has over 600 schools worldwide, welcoming children and young people from more than 80 countries across 5 continents.
Champagnat Global seeks to strengthen Marist education and its core values: presence, simplicity, family spirit, and love for work.
