The Order of Poor Clerics Regular of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools (Latin: Ordo Clericorum Regularium Pauperum Matris Dei Scholarum Piarum, Sch. P. or S. P.) or, in short, Piarists, is the name of the oldest Catholic educational order also known as the Scolopi, Escolapios. Founded by Saint Joseph Calasanz, the main occupation of the Piarist Fathers is teaching the children and youth, the primary goal being to provide free education for poor children.
