Colegio Marianista

What Colegio Marianista does

Colegio Marianista is a Catholic K-12 school operating as an 'escuela pública de gestión privada' (public school of private management) in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Founded in 1935 and owned by the Marianist religious congregation (Compañía de María), the school is managed by the Red Educativa Marianista (REM) and serves approximately 500 students across three educational levels: Nivel Inicial (ages 3-5), Nivel Primario (grades 1-7 with intensive English instruction at 8 hours/week), and Nivel Secundario (a two-year Nueva Escuela Secundaria basic cycle and a three-year oriented cycle with bachilleratos in Humanities/Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Economics/Administration). The school is supported by an integrated pastoral program, dedicated sports facilities (a main Campo de Deportes plus two annexes), a retreat house in Castelar, and a summer camp in Córdoba.

The institution generates revenue through recurring tuition payments from families, billed via the factuweb platform and processed through a dedicated administration department. Administrative and family-facing workflows are digitized across Xhendra (student information and report cards), Google Forms (enrollment inquiries), and Google Drive (document management). The school maintains articulation agreements with Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA) and UADE for preferential university admission, and partners with AACI for cultural/Italian-language programming. Student acquisition is community-led, relying on the school's 90-year reputation, the Marianist religious network, and organic social media presence.

The school is staffed by 172 employees distributed across direction, teaching, administration, and pastoral functions, with separate secretariats and ownership-level contacts for each educational level. There is no external investment, no public listing, and no M&A activity recorded; the school operates under religious-organization ownership rather than corporate or PE-backed ownership. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the institution shows no AI/ML, proprietary technology, or digital product footprint beyond commodity administrative tools.
