The sole focus of our work is to help girls and boys, aged three to 18, to grow in compassion, competence and conscience so they become men and women for others. Welcome 2 3 Introducing the Jesuits Nearly five hundred years ago a group of intellectuals, visionaries and philosophers formed the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). They shared a belief that if a person fully develops every aspect of themselves they can give of their best to the world. This benefits the individual, their family, the wider community and even humankind. The friends believed that ultimately, all human endeavour is for the greater glory of God. Today the Society of Jesus is renowned for its role in education. It is the largest religious order in the Roman Catholic Church, the leader of which, Pope Francis, is himself a Jesuit. There are many other prominent Jesuits in the fields of politics, science, the arts and, of course, education. The Jesuits specialise in education. Their approach and expertise has stood the test of time and has influenced the shape and delivery of education in classrooms the world over. A global network of more than 3,700 Jesuit schools, colleges and universities make the Jesuits the single most successful provider of education in history. 4 5 Defining a Jesuit School A number of principles, shared across Jesuit Our academic programme is robust and challenging schools and universities, underlie Jesuit and examination results are of great importance to education.

  • Jesuit Schools a Quick Introduction
    Jesuit Schools A Quick Introduction Introduction People sometimes ask what makes a Jesuit school different or distinctive. Saint Ignatius Loyola (the 16th century founder of the Society of Jesus and Jesuit schools) gave the answer that a Jesuit school should be about “improvement in living and learning for the greater glory of God and the common good.” Jesuit schools strive to give a first class education but they are also places committed to outstanding formation of character, wanting their pupils to develop into well- educated adults who will live good and virtuous lives. Jesuit schools hope that the young people they form, in partnership with parents, will make the most of their God- given gifts and talents and use their education as ‘men and women for others’ to make the world a better place, especially for the least well off and most socially marginalized. This twofold emphasis on living and learning is, if you like, the DNA of Jesuit education. The eleven Jesuit schools in the UK are part of a network of Jesuit education that stretches back over 450-years, and reaches out around the globe today. The vision of Jesuit education looks with faith and hope to the continued transformation of the world for the greater glory of God and the common good. Fr Adrian Porter SJ Provincial Delegate for Education The Jesuits The Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) is a religious order within the Catholic Church founded by St Ignatius Loyola and nine companions in 1540. Today there are around 18,000 Jesuits in 112 countries on six continents.
