O COMPA it is part of the International Network of the first female apostolic religious order dedicated to education. Founded in 1607, in Bordeaux, France, by Joan of Lestonnac, who placed their educational heritage at the service of the church and society with the mission of offering a humanist-Christian education.

We have one solid educational project, that is centered on the potential of the human person, with the objective that each subject develops the best version of himself. Our gaze points to the new, without disregarding the security of the tradition of those who have been educating for over 400 years in various parts of the world.

We believe it is possible and healthy to reconcile the two terms – pedagogical excellence and welcoming; good results in college entrance exams and in professional life with ethical, spiritual and social integrity; intellectual rigor and healthy coexistence between people who think and feel differently.

Our mission

The Educational Institutions of Company of Mary, inspired by the charisma of Saint Joan of Lestonnac, offer a humanist Christian education that, based on dialogue faith-righteousness, faith-culture, faith-science and technology, focuses on the integral formation of people and the transformation of society.
