Loreto Schools are a group of all-girl Roman Catholic schools throughout the world associated with the Sisters of Loreto, founded by the English recusant nun Mary Ward and are run by the Loreto Educational Society (Loreto sisters), which in India runs 17 schools and 2 colleges.
In Ireland in the 1850s the schools were founded to combat the growing Protestant influence in English education in then British-controlled Ireland and ensure Catholic education for girls. It spread to India and Australia in the 1870s.
