A '''teaching order''' is a [Catholic](/source/Catholic_Church) [religious institute](/source/religious_institute) whose particular [charism](/source/charism) is [education](/source/education). Many orders and societies sponsor educational programs and institutions, and teaching orders participate in other charitable and spiritual activities; a teaching order is distinguished in that education is a primary mission.

==Description==
Teaching orders may operate their own institutions, from [primary school](/source/primary_school) through the [university](/source/university) level, provide staff to diocesan or other [Catholic school](/source/Catholic_school)s, or otherwise contribute to educational ministries.

Such teaching orders include the following:
