Campion School, Bhopal, was established in July 1965 and Campion School, Bhouri, was started in July 2006 which is run by the members of the Society of Jesus commonly called the Jesuits.
The Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic Religious Order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, has been active in the field of education throughout the world since its foundation. The Society of Jesus in India is providing quality educational service to the nation reaching out to all age groups of the people. It is managing number of primary schools, secondary and higher secondary schools, colleges, universities and institutes of higher learning, technical schools, institutes of business and rural management, institutes of media and communications, etc. where millions of young people of both sexes belonging to every class, community and religious group are being educated. "The visible face of the Church and the Society in India is education." These institutions are part of the Catholic Church's effort to share in the country's educational undertaking. This effort, while particularly responsible to the Christian community, has always been at the service of the whole nation. In these institutions, recognized as Christian minority Institutions, the religious beliefs of all students are treated with respect; students learn to value inter-religious collaboration and acquire basic understanding and respect for the faith vision of the members of the diverse religious communities, while deepening their own response to God.
Jesuit education is inspired by the vision of man drawn from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, who symbolises love and forgiveness of God, who lives in solidarity with all who suffer and pours out his life in the service of others for the total and integral liberation of human person leading to participation in the life of God himself. Jesuit education is also based on the principles o St. Ignatius of Loyola. 'While it respects the integrity of academic disciplines, the concern of Jesuit education is preparation for life,....
Jesuit education is also concerned with the ways in which students will make use of their formation within the human community, in the service of others.' 'The goal of Jesuit education in today's understanding of Ignatius world-view is not to prepare a socio-economic elite but rather to educate leaders in service.'
(The Characteristic of Jesuit Education # 37,110)
Jesuit education system is a failure if the student moves out from its institution "without having grown in his sense of the divine reverence of the sacred, respect for human life, compassion for the poor, concern for justice, awareness of oppressive social structures and commitment to help build a more just and more human community. "
- Fr. Nicolas Adolfa, Superior General of the Society of Jesus
