The School Masters of Europe

<p>Holy Cross is run by the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order of priests who became known as “the school masters of Europe”. Founded in the 16th century by the soldier Ignatius Loyola, they became a major force throughout the world, from China to South America. “Give us a boy and we will return you a man, a citizen of his country and a child of God”, they declared. By the 17th century there were more than 500 schools established across Europe. Their ideas about a standardized curriculum and teaching became the basis for many education systems today. Many of America's leading colleges are Jesuit in addition to Holy Cross such as Georgetown, Boston College, Fordham and many others.</p>
