In recent months, the Jesuit Education Foundation has dedicated significant effort to reflection and action following the July 2020 document on Companion Schools. This document, issued by the Society of Jesus and titled “Jesuit & Companion Schools – Companions in Mission,” aims to provide a clearer definition of the position and relationships between the Society and the schools that are part of the Global Network of Educational Institutions. The main objective is to establish distinctive criteria and validation processes to regulate these relationships.

As part of this effort, the Foundation has developed a “Protocol for Accreditation as Companion Schools in the EUM Province.” This protocol has been approved by the Foundation’s Board of Directors and the Provincial Father, who have also authorized the initiation of the accreditation process for institutions within the Province that wish to embark on this path.
