What Does it Mean to be a Jesuit School?
A Jesuit school is a Catholic school inspired by the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits. For nearly 500 years, Jesuit schools around the world have formed students to become thoughtful leaders, compassionate people, and lifelong learners—committed to making a positive difference in the world.
At its core, Jesuit education is about more than academics. It's about helping students grow in mind, heart, and spirit so they can live with purpose and integrity.
Jesuits on Campus
Saint Ignatius High School is blessed to have a community of Jesuit priests, brothers and Jesuits-in-training who live and, in most cases, work on campus.
