Go to child profileSince our founding in 1896, we have nurtured the unique talents and passions of our students to help them become the leaders of tomorrow, forming them into individuals who are intellectually competent, compassionate, guided by conscience, and committed to a just global society. We have graduated students for generations from all faiths, beliefs and traditions who model the Jesuit ideal of being men and women for others.
What learning looks like now: While we cannot eliminate the risk of infection of our staff and students with the Covid19 virus, we will seek to identify, reduce, and minimize these risks, and to protect our staff and students as much as we can, while still moving the educational mission of our school strongly forward. Our plan is meant to be flexible. We intend to incorporate feedback and input from our constituents, and update the plan as needed, once school is under way. While we expect to begin school in a in school learning environment, we may need to pivot to distance learning at any time.

There’s something to be said for schools with a long tradition, and Loyola, with a history extending back to the 1840s, is a good example of that. While it’s very much a modern school—the facilities are crisp, clean, up to the minute—students know that they are taking part in something much larger than themselves. (The school maintains an active archive, most of it digitized and searchable, that students at times use as source material for projects.) The experience of sitting in a place, at least conceptually, that has been occupied by generations, can be galvanizing. It’s part of a global community of Jesuit and Ignatian secondary and pre-secondary schools, which also informs the student experience—this is a place that looks outward as eagerly as it looks inward. The school has grown and adapted throughout its life in order to give students what they need, now, to succeed in their world. Classroom spaces are dynamic, very many with whiteboard walls and digital tools, allowing for a range of learning styles. The school is larger than the average, but not onerously so, allowing for a wide range of co-curriculars and a very successful athletics department. In all, students get the sense of joining an active, involved academic and social community, which, indeed, they are.

This school works with Apple Financial Inc. for processing financial applications
There is no specific income requirement to apply for financial aid. The process relies on individualized assessments that take into account each family’s unique circumstances, including their employment earnings and other income, assets, liabilities, number of dependents etc.
Parents must complete the online application and submit the required documents. Apple Financial Services provides an objective analysis of each application, with a recommendation of what the family should reasonably contribute towards the total fees. The Bursary Committee reviews the results and approves the final grants. Families are notified in writing of the committee’s decision.
All new applicants will be asked to meet with the Bursary Committee to discuss their applications prior to approval of the final grants.
The financial aid granted is of one-year duration. Families must reapply each year if their financial need persists.
The School trusts that the information provided on the application is accurate and truthful. Any evidence to the contrary will put the student's standing at Loyola in jeopardy and risk a repeal, retroactively, of all the financial aid awarded.

Welcome to Loyola. As a Jesuit school, we encourage our students to engage with the world around them, and to do so in an effective way, choosing what is known in the Jesuit tradition as the MAGIS, or the better way of doing so.
Our shared goal is to form men of conscience, competence, and compassionate commitment. This is not just a slogan at Loyola. Our academic program is very strong, with 99% of our graduates accepted into the post-secondary program of their choice. We challenge our students to think, to sharpen their public speaking skills, to write and to speak well in both French and English, and to make ethical choices. At Loyola, faculty get to know each student well, and have an abiding respect for each of our students as a valuable and unique child of God. We expect all students to get involved in school life by choosing what is right for them from our rich array of co-curricular offerings. This way, Loyola students develop their talents, interests, and social skills to serve the wider community well both during and after their time at the school.
With this in mind, we visit external sites for the learning they offer, but also for the service and engagement they inspire. The idea is for our boys to grow to become capable, principled men for and with others. Our students learn to do this in the context of a supportive yet demanding school community.
This is what makes Jesuit education special. I hope you will come to agree with me, that the Jesuit mission is alive and well at Loyola.
