Loreto schools are a network of educational institutions founded by the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, established by Mary Ward in the early 17th century. These schools aim to provide a holistic education that emphasizes academic excellence, personal development, and social responsibility, rooted in the values of faith and service. The Loreto schools are present in various countries, including Australia, Ireland, and India. They offer a range of programs from early childhood education to secondary schooling, focusing on empowering students to become confident, compassionate, and capable individuals who contribute positively to society.
