A number of Barat's students founded their own religious congregations.
Eugénie Smet, a pupil of Lille, founded the Society of the Helpers of the Holy Souls; Anne de Meeûs, a pupil in Paris, wrote the constitutions of her congregation of Perpetual Adoration at the little Château in Jette, and Henriette d'Osseville, a pupil in Paris, founded the Sisters of the Faithful Virgin.

The legacy of Madeleine Sophie Barat can be found in the more than 100 schools operated by her Society of the Sacred Heart, institutions known for the quality of the education made available to the young.
She founded the Society of the Sacred Heart, which would focus on schools for the poor as well as boarding schools for young women of means; today, co-ed Sacred Heart schools can be found as well as schools exclusively for boys.

The Sophie Barat School in Hamburg, Germany, an independent, non-fee-paying, co-educational grammar school, is run by the Society of the Sacred Heart (Sacré Coeur).

Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, the descendant of the Academy of the Sacred Heart, was founded on Wabash Avenue in 1858 and relocated to Lake Forest in 1904.
It received its charter from the State of Illinois in 1918.
Barat College merged with DePaul University in 2001 and was closed in 2005.

The Barat Education Foundation, an independent nonprofit organization, was established in 2000 prior to the sale of Barat College to DePaul University.
 At that time, the Foundation was charged with the development and support of innovative educational programs and services that reflected the values and educational tradition of Barat College.
 When DePaul University closed Barat College in June 2005, the Board of Directors voted to perpetuate and build upon the Barat legacy of education, leadership and advocacy.
 Today, the Barat Education Foundation is committed to continuing and adapting the heritage and legacy of Barat College to the 21st century world.

The Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat Tribute and Memorial Scholarship is available annually to two new or returning students attending Oak Hill School in St. Louis, Missouri.
This scholarship is funded by tribute and memorial contributions and the amount of assistance varies each year.
