  • A Jesuit Education
    A Jesuit Education at Mount St Mary’s College and Barlborough Hall School At Mount St Mary’s College and our preparatory school, Barlborough Hall we continue a centuries-old tradition of providing a Jesuit education in the rural heart of England. The sole focus of our work is to help girls and boys, aged three to 18, to grow in compassion, competence and conscience so they become men and women for others. Welcome 2 3 Introducing the Jesuits Nearly five hundred years ago a group of intellectuals, visionaries and philosophers formed the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). They shared a belief that if a person fully develops every aspect of themselves they can give of their best to the world. This benefits the individual, their family, the wider community and even humankind. The friends believed that ultimately, all human endeavour is for the greater glory of God. Today the Society of Jesus is renowned for its role in education. It is the largest religious order in the Roman Catholic Church, the leader of which, Pope Francis, is himself a Jesuit. There are many other prominent Jesuits in the fields of politics, science, the arts and, of course, education. The Jesuits specialise in education. Their approach and expertise has stood the test of time and has influenced the shape and delivery of education in classrooms the world over. A global network of more than 3,700 Jesuit schools, colleges and universities make the Jesuits the single most successful provider of education in history. 4 5 Defining a Jesuit School A number of principles, shared across Jesuit Our academic programme is robust and challenging schools and universities, underlie Jesuit and examination results are of great importance to education.
