Forming Leaders, Scholars and Men for Others

Cleveland's Catholic, Jesuit high school is rooted in Ignatian spirituality. Our education forms students to be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to social justice. Graduates emerge as Men for Others.

Companions on the Journey.
Builders of a Hope-Filled Future.

Students

Life at Saint Ignatius goes far beyond the classroom. Our students grow as leaders, athletes, artists, and men of faith while building friendships that last a lifetime. With countless opportunities to get involved—from athletics and the arts to service, clubs, and spiritual formation—the Saint Ignatius experience helps every student discover his passions, challenge himself, and find his place in our community.

Parents & Guardians

Parents and guardians are an essential part of the Saint Ignatius community. From cheering on their sons to volunteering, attending events, and engaging in faith and service opportunities, families are deeply connected to campus life. Together, we share in the mission of forming young men of character, leadership, and faith.

Alumni

The bond of brotherhood doesn’t end at graduation. Saint Ignatius alumni carry forward the Ignatian tradition into every stage of life, staying connected through events, service, networking, and lifelong friendships. With more than 20,000 Wildcats around the world, our alumni community is a powerful force for good.

Faculty & Staff

Our faculty and staff bring the mission of Saint Ignatius to life every day. More than teachers and mentors, they serve as role models who challenge and support students to grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally. Their dedication ensures that each student is known, valued, and inspired to reach his full potential.

Benefactors

The generosity of our benefactors sustains and strengthens the mission of Saint Ignatius. Through their support, we provide transformative opportunities in academics, athletics, the arts, and service while ensuring that a Jesuit education remains accessible to families.
