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

In June, the Marist solidarity foundation, Gesta Fundación Marista por la Solidaridad de Chile (www.fundaciongesta.cl), launched the programme “Zero Indifference” aimed at promoting solidarity initiatives for micro-projects undertaken by Marist secondary students in Chile. The programme includes a competition fund and an accompaniment plan for the students’ micro-projects.
The objective of Zero Indifference is to promote innovative and useful social action by Marist students and to make them more socially aware. The projects can be of any nature, provided that they include solidarity action such as holiday camps, school support, help for the sick, etc. They serve very poor students or adults, people in desperate situations, to only mention a few examples.
Zero Indifference will fund the better projects according to the clarity of their objectives, the coherence of the project, the support of people of the College, the cohesion in the group, etc. A jury composed of Marist Brothers and members of Gesta will determine the criteria for selection. The maximum contribution per project will be 300,000 pesos, equivalent to a little more than 500 US dollars.
