The '''Loreto Schools''' are a group of all-girl [[Roman Catholic]] schools throughout the world associated with the [[Sisters of Loreto]] and run by Loreto Educational Society (Loreto [[Religious sister|sisters]]), which in India runs 17 schools and 2 colleges. They originated in [[Ireland]] in the 1850s so as to combat the growing [[Protestant]] influence in English education in the then British-controlled Ireland. Its chief purpose was to ensure Catholic education for [[Irish Catholic]] girls. It spread to India and Australia in the 1870s.
