Welcome to the site of the Institute of the Marist Brothers of the Schools (FMS - Fratres Maristae a Scholis)
We Marist brothers are religious consecrated to God, and we follow Jesus in the way that Mary did. We live in community and dedicate ourselves in a special way to the education of children and young people, with a preference for those who are the most neglected.
The Marist Brothers are in 79 countries on five continents. Using this map we invite you to take a trip around the world and see where we serve.Read more

The new logo for the Marist Brothers of the Province of the United States reflects two Marist sayings with which we are all familiar. The first is “All to Jesus through Mary,” and the second is “A brother is a man for whom the world is not large enough.”
The “M” is both a pathway and a symbol for Mary. In this logo, Mary is the path that leads us, our students, and our colleagues to Jesus. The Cross, rising from the light, is at the end of the pathway suggesting that our journey with Mary leads us to Jesus who is the light of the world.
Both the M and the Cross are superimposed over a globe which represents our world. The color of the globe changes from a darker blue to lighter shades of blue as we move closer to Jesus who is our light.
Lastly, both the M/pathway and the Cross break out of the boundaries of our world suggesting that as Marist Brothers we are people “for whom the world is not large enough.”
