Educate Magis

What Educate Magis does

Educate Magis is the Global Apostolic Online Community of Educators from the Jesuit Global Network of Schools (JGNS), headquartered in Galway, Ireland, and operated as a work of the Society of Jesus under Fr. Arturo Sosa's authority. The platform serves teachers, administrators, and students at approximately 937 Jesuit secondary and pre-secondary schools across 72 countries and six regional networks (North America, South Asia, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa and Madagascar, Europe), reaching roughly 888,327 students. Its product is organized around three pillars — Learn (online courses, webinars, retreats), Teach (Global Connected Classrooms, remote-teaching tools, classroom materials), and Collaborate (colleagues directory, Global Conversations, Global Groups, online meetings, Global Exchange Database) — and is delivered via a WordPress-based web platform, iOS and Android mobile applications, and an embeddable Global Stories widget. The platform is available in English, French, and Spanish, and includes interactive global mapping of the JGNS member schools.

The business model is freemium membership: educators from JGNS schools register for free, no pricing is publicly disclosed, and the platform does not publish revenue figures. Go-to-market is community-led rather than commercial — distribution flows through the six regional Jesuit conferences and the Jesuit Refugee Service / Fe y Alegría networks, with recruitment via regional conferences, global gatherings, and word-of-mouth. Funding rounds are not disclosed; the organization appears to operate as a non-profit initiative resourced under the Jesuit order with a lean team of approximately six people. Customer concentration is effectively total within the Jesuit school ecosystem, and no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or commercial integrations are documented.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ClassDojo: ClassDojo is a community-driven K-12 communication and classroom engagement platform connecting teachers, students, and families. Its freemium, community-led go-to-market and educator-first design make it a strong behavioral peer to Educate Magis.
• Seesaw: Seesaw is a K-12 learning platform that enables student portfolios, family communication, and teacher collaboration. Its school-based community model and educator-led adoption are structurally similar to Educate Magis's connected-classroom approach.

Emerging players

• Nearpod: Nearpod offers interactive K-12 lessons, virtual classrooms, and educator collaboration tools. It overlaps with Educate Magis's connected-classroom and educator-development functionality, but focuses on content delivery rather than faith-based community.

Broad incumbents

• Canvas (Instructure): Instructure's Canvas is one of the most widely adopted K-12 and higher-ed LMS platforms, supporting online courses, collaboration, and educator workflows globally. It is comparable to Educate Magis in delivering virtual learning and collaboration at school scale, but as a general-purpose incumbent.
• Schoology (PowerSchool): PowerSchool's Schoology is a leading K-12 learning management system used by schools globally. Like Educate Magis, it serves school-delivered instruction and educator collaboration, but as a broad commercial incumbent rather than a faith-specific community platform.
• Google Classroom: Google Classroom is a free, globally deployed K-12 platform for course delivery, assignments, and educator collaboration. It mirrors Educate Magis's freemium K-12 educator-collaboration positioning but at vastly broader scale and without mission-specific community features.
• Microsoft Teams for Education: Microsoft Teams for Education provides virtual classrooms, collaboration, and meetings for K-12 schools worldwide. It competes with Educate Magis for global connected-classroom experiences, but as part of Microsoft's broader productivity ecosystem.

Others

• National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA): NCEA is the umbrella organization for U.S. Catholic K-12 education, supporting schools with formation, resources, and community — comparable to Educate Magis's role within the narrower Jesuit ecosystem.
• Fe y Alegría: Fe y Alegría is a Jesuit-associated movement of popular education across Latin America and beyond. It is an associated member of the Jesuit Global Network of Schools and is comparable to Educate Magis as part of the broader Jesuit education ecosystem.
• Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) - Education: JRS is a Jesuit organization providing education to refugees globally and is a listed partner of Educate Magis. It represents an adjacent Jesuit education mission rather than a direct platform competitor.
