“Jesuit ingrains the value of serving others in
its students. My years at Jesuit as a student and
now a parent have given me an awareness of
helping those less fortunate and striving to be a
man for others.”

“My four years at Jesuit were crucial. My
father had passed away during my freshman
year, and I frankly needed more than just a
good education. The school’s mission was
and is to develop the entire boy, not just
academically, but also morally, spiritually and
intellectually. To this day my life is enriched
by the faculty’s guidance, care and example
during those crucial four years. I am
enormously grateful.”

“Jesuit provided a top caliber education, but
more importantly, it taught me ethics, morals,
values, and spiritual discernment. I came to

Four Years…
For the Rest of Your Life
Jesuit’s rigorous academic program
has set the standard for college
preparation in the state of Florida
and our students leave Jesuit primed
and prepared to compete at the next
level and beyond. But what truly
makes four years of a Jesuit education
unique is the preparation that
each student receives for his life.
Once students take their first step
onto Loyola Lane as a Freshman, they
become a part of something larger
than themselves. They are pushed —
and expected — to be leaders both
in the classroom and in their
community. Jesuit students strive to
excel and improve in all that they do,
to move beyond personal gain and to
begin acting as “Men for Others” —
men who are engaged in the world,
living productive and spiritual lives
dedicated to the service and
betterment of the world around them.
This pursuit of excellence is at
the heart of a Jesuit education, a
responsibility integral not only to a
young man’s four years at Jesuit,
but to the rest of his life.
“You need brains, heart and soul, and guts to
be a whole person. Jesuit gets you well on
your way to success in those areas.”
Doug Robb

“I am proud of my Jesuit education. Those
years in my life were crucial in helping
me develop into the man I am today. I am
forever thankful and blessed for having had
a Jesuit education.”
