The School Sisters of the Third Order of St Francis is a Roman Catholic religious order for women. An international Franciscan community of more than 1,100 sisters and associates, the order was founded in 1874. The mother house is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
The most famous member of this order is Sister Joannes Klas, winner of the 1997 Nansen Medal for her work with refugees in Guatemala and elsewhere.
