Jesuit High School

Thank you for your interest in Jesuit High School. We are honored that you're considering our school for your family.  Please click here to view brief video that best describes Jesuit, New Orleans.

Founded in 1847, Jesuit High School is a Catholic, college-preparatory school for boys in grades 8-12 that serves students of all religious faiths. It is located in Mid-City New Orleans.

The Jesuit approach to education is based on nearly five hundred years of excellence, originated by St. Ignatius Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus (“the Jesuits”). It begins with a deep respect for students and their potential.  The Jesuit faculty challenges students to strive for personal excellence in all aspects of life — intellectual, emotional, moral, and physical. 

Jesuit’s curriculum is structured to develop disciplined habits, to stimulate critical thinking, and to develop the skills necessary for the expression of that thinking. The rigorous curriculum and graduation requirements are designed to ensure all students a chance for admission to the most demanding colleges and universities in the country. 

Jesuit High School strives to instill five characteristics in its students. Jesuit graduates are open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice.  Jesuit's mission is to develop in its students the competence, conscience, and compassion that will enable them to become Men of Faith and Men for Others.
