Le scuole Faes (famiglia e scuola) nascono a Milano 36 anni fa e come il Leone XIII, il San Carlo, il Gonzaga, l’istituto dei Salesiani, sono scuole paritarie non statali. Non essendo neppure “cattoliche”, cioè governate direttamente o indirettamente dalla Chiesa Cattolica, amano definirsi "Secular".
In jargon, used by the institution, schools are Faes "personal work", that is created at the initiative of members of Opus Dei, and according to the will of Josemar í to Escriva á de Balaguer, founder of the institution, are "inspired" Catholic and homogeneous "that teach children the principles of gender differences." In other words, are frequented only by male or female, without moments of promiscuity. Common in major Italian cities a Milano sono conosciute le scuole Aurora, Monforte e Argonne. Se interpellati sulla scelta dell’ “omogeneità”, i genitori che iscrivono i figli all’Argonne e che ho potuto interrogare, ritengono che non essendo la socializzazione una priorità della scuola (perché la si può fare anche altrove) ma l’insegnamento (ruolo principale della scuola), è bene che gli insegnanti siano messi nelle condizione di farlo al meglio. E avere davanti a sé una classe omogenea aiuta di certo; “Inoltre aiuta i ragazzi (soprattutto i maschi, ma in parte anche le ragazze), evitando confronti e “distrazioni” che nell’adolescenza sono deleteri”.
and discordant voice of a former student of the school Monforte, now an adult and mother of two children, who criticizes the principles and style of education: "But how is it possible to separate the ball so clearly logical and rational (rational intelligence) from the affective-relational (emotional intelligence)? ".
The official website of the schools in Milan ( http://www.faesmilano.it/ ) proposes, on the homepage, a striking testimonial to the Opera: Madame Marina Salomon, known businesswoman who, after had a son (named Brando) by Luciano Benetton, married civilmente con un divorziato, Marco Benatti, veronese. La stessa dichiara: “Ho scelto le scuole Faes perché ho cercato figure educative di riferimento…la scuola fa fatica ad educare….la situazione attuale della scuola italiana a me pone molte paure sul futuro della società e dell’economia italiana…”.
E mentre la Salomon si affida alle “figure educative di riferimento” della Faes, altri ricordano così la loro esperienza in quelle scuole:
“Avevo dieci anni, mio padre era morto da un anno e mia madre was fixed with the idea that I needed a reference point for men.
When it came time to choose the school, heard from some neighbors that there was this school where there were the "tutor", as in college English. I had no intention of leaving my friends in elementary and I wanted to go public with the means of my neighborhood, but she told me that
in that school was the football field, and then managed to drag me up there. I remember we talked to a guy wearing glasses at some point he asked to be alone with me and made me some questions about my expectations from that school. I very quietly I told him: "I'm here to play football." After that I drove. My mother repeated even today, with a lot of anger, the sentence that the man said, "We fear that her son hurt our kids." But she has a suspicion that was another reason: widow, a housewife and a young child, we were not wealthy. But it is more than convinced that this "rejection" has been my good fortune, and I with her " [Gabriele Battaglia, 44, journalist PeaceReporter].

Further evidence shows the practice of natural breach of confidentiality, privacy, and perhaps of the sacramental seal is not rare in opera circles and often denounced by former members who left the institution:
"I was going and that's for more than 3 weeks did not go to confession the priest of the Opera This school, the Tutor came to call me and told me, "said Don R. that is a bit 'you do not see, perhaps you'd better pass from him" and the invitation was clear. But how can-I was wondering - a priest to talk about my confessions to another person? " [ Maria, 41, teacher].
One wonders why schools Faes, by definition, and that these lay claim to ul s official website www.faesmilano.it (FAES schools are the most secular of all Milan " ) children, through guardianship, are encouraged to meet with the priest and even to resort to sacramental confession. And it was said that the main purpose of these schools is that teaching? Greater transparency would be enough not to disappoint the many students and parents, based on the official notification, they think to find a different school.
Schools Faes, as an equal, ricevono finanziamenti pubblici : ciò significa che i soldi dei cittadini vengono utilizzati per sostenere le famiglie che si possono permettere rette scolastiche per i figli dai 3 ai 6 mila euro annui. È questo il sistema “Dote scuola”, ideato dalla Regione Lombardia, che prevede un rimborso per famiglia pari al 25% o 50% della retta scolastica, attraverso la distribuzione di vaucher da spendere per l'acquisto di libri e materiale didattico o per il sostegno ai costi di trasporto e mensa scolastica.
Intervistando comuni cittadini dell’area milanese sull’opportunità di ottenere un beneficio economico attraverso the system "Dote schools" I found that is absolutely not known how the functioning of the [one mode, indeed, elusive art. 33 Constitution, which reads "Public and private persons have the right to establish schools and educational establishments at no cost to the State"] and that the assignment policy, under the rules of the voucher application, which takes into account parameters differ depending on income requesting that the family has children enrolled in public schools or to private / Matching:
- in the first case [ state schools ] families have access to good based on the certificate Isee (Indicator della situazione economica equivalente), una sorta di riccometro, utile per determinare la condizione economica del nucleo familiare. L’Isee (o l’Ise) è un parametro che viene calcolato tenendo presente la composizione, il reddito e il patrimonio mobiliare ed immobiliare del nucleo familiare. Per ottenere il beneficio il parametro deve essere inferiore a 20.000 euro.
- nel secondo caso [ scuole paritarie ] le famiglie accedono al buono sulla base dell’indicatore reddituale che, a differenza del certificato Isee, considera soltanto la composizione e il reddito del nucleo familiare, ma non il patrimonio real estate, nor the securities. The income limits are more generous, that is good to go to school indicator income must not exceed € 46,597. Which means precisely translating the parameter in real income, which can be accessed with a good annual income reported 200 thousand euro.
In other words, since 2008/09, following the decision of the Regional No 6114 on "Criteria for the allocation of talent education school year 2008/2009," 's public school students are excluded per legge dal presente beneficio economico.
Grazie al documento “Il finanziamento pubblico alla scuola privata in Lombardia” del novembre 2009, elaborato da Luciano Muhlbauer con la collaborazione di Tina d’Amicis, Luigia Pasi, Anna Camposampiero, Ivano De Ponti, Emanuela Donat-Cattin, è possibile risalire alla cifra stanziata per le sole scuole Faes, che ammonta a € 379.300,00

For 'school year 2009/2010, you are trying to get , through the office "Dote school" Region, gli stessi dati sulle cifre destinate alle singole scuole paritarie; ad oggi la risposta più precisa è stata questa: “Se vuole le singole denominazioni delle scuole, la cosa si fa complicata”.
Durante una riunione pubblica promossa dalle Acli di Corbetta, comune dell’Ovest milanese, nel mese di novembre 2010, sul tema della Scuola e in particolare della riforma Gelmini, era presente il consigliere regionale Francesco Prina [di area PD] che non ha fatto nessun cenno al sistema discriminatorio della Dote Scuola, anche in considerazione del fatto che lo stesso giorno era stato approvato l’emendamento alla legge di stabilità che stanziava 245 € million for private schools. It was expected at least adequate information on a topical theme that involves the families of the area.
