In the United States, 28 Jesuit tertiary education institutions are organized as the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, the oldest one being Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., founded by Bishop John Carroll in 1789. One of its presidents, Father Patrick Francis Healy, was the first African American to head a major university. The largest institution is Loyola University Chicago. The 46 Jesuit high schools of America are organized under the Jesuit Secondary Education Association. The Jesuits have recently opened a number of middle schools in poor neighborhoods in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Omaha, Buffalo and St. Louis. There are also Jesuits serving on the faculties of other Catholic colleges and universities; additionally they serve on many secular faculties.

Jesuits also operate retreat houses, for the purpose of offering the Spiritual Exercises (above) and other types of days of prayer or spiritual programs extended over weekends or weeks. The oldest Jesuit retreat house in the United States is Mount Manresa in Staten Island, New York, and today there are 34 retreat houses or spirituality centers run by the order in the U.S. Jesuits also serve on the staffs of other retreat centers.

Notable entries only
I have reduced the list to notable entries. Therefore, anything redlinked or unlinked was deleted. It would be preferable if there were current references denoting each entry as a Jesuit institution (especially because many give themselves over to a lay board of directors or similar.)

Numbering is cumbersome
I object to this edit, which added number totals to each heading. Firstly, I do not expect them to stay in sync as strangers edit the article, adding and subtracting schools. Secondly, they are highly nonstandard, and one reason it is not done is because heading text is meant to be very stable, especially so that it may be linked from elsewhere, and unless we use anchors, every single edit to this article will break a link, guaranteed.

Some schools are miscatorized as colleges/universities
It appears that at least some of the schools identified as universities are in fact secondary schools. viz College of Clermont, Paris, and St Joseph College, Aalst (Belgium). Someone with good knowledge of these schools should probably double check. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cellmaker (talk • contribs) 21:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Some of these have incorrect links, e.g. Gonzaga College in Indonesia links to Gonzaga College in Iran--but I can't see how to fix the links on the page.Kcomerfo (talk) 18:45, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
