You might mean the Jesuits (Society of Jesus) — they are the Catholic religious order best known for founding and running schools, colleges and universities worldwide. Founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540, the Jesuits emphasize education, scholarship and missionary work.
If you really mean an order of brothers specifically devoted to schooling, the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (the De La Salle Brothers, founded by St. John Baptist de La Salle) is another major teaching congregation focused on primary and secondary education.
(Technical note: “monks” properly refers to monastic orders like the Benedictines; Jesuits and De La Salle Brothers are religious orders/congregations rather than monks, though they’re commonly called “orders.”) Want more detail about any of these?
