Jesuits have been engaged in teaching, research and scholarly publication almost since the foundation of the Society. From astronomy to classical ballet, from the humanities to theology, Jesuits try to discover, shape, renew and promote human wisdom.

The educational apostolate of the Society has been greatly enriched by the contributions made by centres of non-formal education, established in both rural and urban areas. They educate their students as "men and women for others" who can assume leadership roles in their own communities.

A wide spectrum of educational categories are covered including: Non formal education, Schools (Primary and Secondary), Junior College, Undergrad College, Professional Colleges. Here in Bombay, we have St. Xavier’s College, St. Stanislaus High School, Holy Family High School, St. Mary’s High School (ISC and SSC), Campion High School, Boy’s Academy, St. Xavier Institute of Education, Xavier Institute of Engineering, Xavier Institute of Communication (XIC) and Xavier Institute of Management & Research (XIMR). We have just started an English Medium School in Talasari (Thane) for the Warlis. Our centers of non-formal education are being run in the Thane, Nandurbar districts.

"The Jesuits are doing something holy, something sacrosanct
by working in the field of education.
Education gives one the ultimate human value.
They have made excellent contribution
not only in India but the world over."
