Mission Statement

St. Ignatius strives to develop young women and men of competence, conscience, and compassion through an integrated program of academic, spiritual, and extra-curricular activities. St. Ignatius seeks to develop students who strive toward the Jesuit ideal of the magis: a thirst for the more, for the greater good, for the most courageous response to the challenges of our time in the fullest development of students' talents, and for a life-long disposition to serve.

Expected School-wide Learning Results

Building upon our Jesuit traditions and our foundational documents, the St. Ignatius Community has chosen a set of outcomes for all students in a college preparatory curriculum. To this end St. Ignatius students are:

I. Persons Open to Growth who:

evaluate divergent points of view.
demonstrate tolerance and respect for divergent points of view.

II. Intellectually Competent persons who:

think critically and creatively.
analyze and solve problems in a variety of disciplines, utilizing information from diverse sources.
communicate effectively.

III. Religious persons who:

understand the Gospel message of Jesus Christ and His mission.
demonstrate growth in personal spirituality.

IV. Loving persons who:

develop and support community and act as “persons for and with others.”

V. Persons Committed to Justice who:

work toward a just society.
exercise a personal value system based on the Gospel message and thus are able to confront the moral ambiguities promoted by contemporary culture.

VI. Leaders in Collaboration:

demonstrate basic leadership and collaborative skills.

Profile 2020: The Graduate at Graduation

Profile 2020: The Graduate and Graduation is a consensus of our school community regarding what we consider to be the essential characteristics of the ideal graduate. We offer this statement as an articulation of the kind of Ignatians we are striving to form: men and women who, in the words of Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., former Jesuit Superior General, must be “men and women for others.”
