The Jesuit Schools Network of North America (JSN) is the membership association for secondary and pre-secondary schools run by the Society of Jesus in North America.
Based in Washington, D.C., JSN serves 55,000 students in 91 Jesuit schools[1] throughout Canada and the United States, and in Belize and the Federated States of Micronesia.
The Network’s predecessor, the Jesuit Educational Association (JEA), was founded in 1936 to serve the apostolate of secondary and postsecondary schools in the United States.
[2] In 2015, the JSEA was restructured under the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States and renamed to the Jesuit Schools Network of North America.
Seven Jesuits led the JSEA as president: Edwin J. McDermott, S.J., Vincent J. Duminuco, S.J., Charles P. Costello, S.J., Carl E. Meirose, S.J., Joseph F. O’Connell, S.J., Ralph E. Metts, S.J.
