ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
St. John’s Jesuit High School was founded in 1898 and re-established as a four-year, college preparatory high school at the present location on Airport Highway in 1965. Since then, generations of young men have been instilled with a strong work ethic and upstanding moral character through rigorous academics and Ignatian spirituality.
A JESUIT SCHOOLS NETWORK
MEMBER SCHOOL
St. John’s belongs to the Midwest Province of Jesuit schools in the U.S., part of the largest international, oldest educational network of almost 4,000 schools sponsored by the Society of Jesus and rooted in the principals of Ignatian Spirituality, educating close to three million students. In the United States alone, the religious order founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola known as the Jesuits, sponsor 28 colleges and universities and 59 high schools. Opportunities extend beyond Toledo, as graduates become part of the worldwide Jesuit tradition. This Jesuit network opens doors for alumni wherever they go in education, religion, social and business.
JESUIT FOUNDATIONS
From the first day a young man enters, he becomes familiar with important foundations of all Jesuit schools. Daily inspired by our mission of forming Men for Others and key foundations of the Society of Jesus, your student will embark on more than education at St. John’s, he embarks on an experience.
Cura Personalis
Cura Personalis, Latin for “care for the entire person,” is a hallmark of Jesuit spirituality and educational philosophy. It inspires teachers to listen to students and build relationships with them – to guide them in taking responsibility for their learning.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
Whether a science project, athletic competition, or meeting the needs those underserved in our community, we strive to do all things for the Greater Glory of God, or in Latin, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
