For more than 175 years St. Xavier High School's educational heritage - inspired by more than 450 years of Jesuit tradition - has been a warm, welcoming atmosphere of learning, friendship and spiritual affirmation. Young men from more than 100 grade schools throughout Greater Cincinnati come to St. X's 110-acre campus and leave to populate the world as men with a genuine sense of home and belonging. |
The Jesuit ideal of
cura personalis - care of the whole person - synthesizes mind, body and spirit in an academically rigorous college preparatory education. St. Xavier High School offers an intentional focus on the intellectual, physical, spiritual, expressive and interpersonal gifts of its students as conveyed in the teachings of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order. St. Ignatius said an education devoted to the full development of each student would produce Christian leaders capable of seeing God in all things and answering God's call.
Today Jesuit students across the country use a document known as The Graduate at Graduation as a road map to this complete education. St. X students, by the time they earn their diplomas, are expected to be
open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving and committed to doing justice. St. Xavier High School students and graduates attempt to live up to the school motto of being men for and with others while always seeking the
magis - the more - and living lives in pursuit of justice and service to community as exemplified by Jesus Christ.
The mission of St. Xavier High School is to assist young men in their formation as leaders and men for and with others through thorough rigorous college preparation in the Jesuit tradition. A faculty and staff who embrace the school's living heritage impart the mission and model it to students and each other.
We say to one and all: Welcome to St. Xavier High School, a place good for you now, a place good for you later, a place good for you always!
