Application Process

At Saint Ignatius High School, we believe that our students define our community. That is why we take a thoughtful approach to our application process, with each individual candidate reviewed by our 12-person committee. It is always our top priority to evaluate all applicants to ensure that a unique Saint Ignatius education is available to every qualified student, and therefore we encourage all students to apply.
