Our History

SM was born in Vitoria, Spain in 1937, when a group of Marianist teachers began printing their notes and teaching manuals. Since then, we have continued to work in constant adaptation to change with a vocation for cultural and educational service. Today we are one of the leading educational companies in Ibero-America. In Puerto Rico, from our offices in Cataño, we contribute to the education of our children and youth.

At SM, we educate for the common good, to achieve a better world. Our clear educational project seeks to develop a student with values and the sensitivity to be a global citizen. And it is in school where we learn to relate to one another, to take care of ourselves, others, and our environment. This is one of the most essential forms of learning.

SM belongs to the SM Foundation, a non-profit educational institution that maintains its important social work in Ibero-America through educational programs that contribute to a more inclusive, just, peaceful, and sustainable world. We stand out for developing editorial products and educational solutions that support the role of teachers and the school.

In the cultural sphere, we are committed to children's and young adult literature of high literary quality and a playful approach, which encourages a love for reading and transmits human, social, and cultural values that contribute to promoting the common good and care.
