HEALING A FRAGMENTED SOCIETY. THROUGH DIALOGUE AND GENUINE ENCOUNTER.
Keep Pope Francis living legacy alive
Every time young people meet to listen, understand, and create together, Pope Francis’s dream becomes reality. An education that forms, awakens, and gives life.
OUR SOCIETY IS FRAGMENTED. WE NEED TO RELEARN HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER.
For Francis, encounter is the only path to a more human world.
But to reach it, he believed we must rethink education itself—transforming it from a system of instruction into an instrument for peace.
Scholas turns that vision into daily reality:
Not by filling minds, but by opening hearts.
Not with repetition, but with encounter.
Not to produce students, but to form human beings.
Scholas was born from that vision:
an education that listens, embraces, and transforms.
From his heart to 70 countries 5 continents 2.5M youth
HIS DREAM CONTINUES IN THE UNITED STATES
We explain it to you in a simple way
EDUCATION WITH MEANING
In a world overwhelmed by stress, noise, and disconnection, young people are searching for meaning.
Scholas gives them what every heart needs:
a place to be seen, expressed, and understood.
THE CULTURE OF ENCOUNTER
A student from a public school sits next to a student from a private one.
A teenager from one faith meets someone from another.
Stories cross, walls fall, and something sacred happens: encounter.
YOUTH IN ACTION
Pope Francis invited youth to step onto the balcony of life and get involved. Scholas gives them the confidence to do exactly that. Today, our students are taking the lead, designing and driving real projects that transform their communities.
