The Pious Schools of West Africa signed an agreement to join the Itaka-Piarist network in 2016. Our presence is coordinated from the headquarters of Itaka-Escolapios West Africa in Dakar, the capital of Senegal.

Itaka-Escolapios is an international network, created by the Order and the Fraternity of the Pious Schools, which is integrated into the life and mission of the Demarcations and Fraternities of the Pious Schools, and which promotes the Piarist Christian Community and its evangelizing, educational and social work, updating the footsteps of St. Joseph Calasanz.

We are committed to the education of the most disadvantaged people as the best way to transform the world and prepare a better tomorrow, making the new generations contribute with responsibility the best of themselves.

Volunteering and education for social transformation are always transversal lines in our work and in the projects we develop, committing ourselves to our environment to make a world “as God intended”.

In Burkina Faso we are present in Zinghane.
