Risks and Mitigation Strategies for Faith-Based Institutions
While "greater Netflix" offers immense potential,Marist administrators must address content alignment with Catholic teaching. Not all trending titles reflect evangelical values or Church doctrine.
The Future of Media in Marist Education
As "greater Netflix" continues to expand its education vertical, Marist institutions are positioned to lead Latin America in digital discipleship-merging cutting-edge media with timeless spiritual formation. By 2027, we anticipate Netflix will launch a dedicated "Faith & Ethics" hub in partnership with Catholic education networks, offering exclusive content co-created with Marist educators .
For school leaders, the question is no longer whether to adopt streaming media-but how to do so with intentionality, discernment, and pedagogical excellence that honors the Marist charism.
