In 1819, the Marianists opened their first school on the street of Rue des Menuts in Bordeaux, France, with 15 students. The core group of teachers consisted primarily of religious from the first Marianist community. From this beginning, Marianist education spread rapidly beyond the frontiers of France to locations on five continents. Today, Marianists are educating more than 100,000 young people in 24 countries in 97 educational institutions with nearly 8,000 educators, both religious and lay.
