Genazzano FCJ College, established in 1889, is an independent Catholic school owned by the Sisters, Faithful Companions of Jesus. Genazzano’s philosophy is built on a Christian belief in the dignity and worth of every individual. From its beginnings in 1889, Genazzano College’s founding Sisters, from the religious congregation Faithful Companions of Jesus, have championed the intellectual and spiritual development of young women, encouraging them to make meaningful contributions to society as leaders in both the community and at home. By providing a broad academic curriculum and an extensive co-curricular program the college offers extensive choice to students striving to maximise their strength and interests, giving them both the intellectual and spiritual development to go far.
