SI is such a fun school! There is always something to do after school whether that be clubs, sports, arts, or other extracurricular and you are strongly encouraged to participate in the student life and attend the many fun events. SI has great school spirit and the teachers want you to succeed. The academics are also modern and prepare you for college, relating the classroom material to the rest of your life. In addition, you have room in your schedule to pursue your own passions as well, from computer science to jazz band, to yearbook! There is a wonderful Community Service program with a life-changing Immersion experience as well as Campus Ministry both with Frosh and Soph retreats and senior Kairos! Saint Ignatius’s Jesuit values inspire students to lead lives of generosity, called to service, to leadership and love. Even though SI is a Jesuit school, it is open to all religions and spiritualities. SI really does care for the whole person and I am so glad that I chose to go here!
I'm a sophomore and not returning for the next year. S.I has amazing facilities, such as a nice pool, counseling center, library, and overall many nice places for students to study/hang out. It is definitely some of the best mental health support I've seen at a high school, since there are multiple counselors, and pretty much all teachers understand if you need to leave class to speak to a counselor. However, what SI says about the school goals/culture is different from the reality. Academics are very surface level, but there is an extreme workload. If you don't play sports, forget a super fun school experience. Most kids in performing arts tend to be talented, but those activities are ignored. Kids participate in many activities and are pretty open about only doing it for college. Only a few kids are actually passionate about anything but all have 4.0s. If you want a typical school experience, 2 work hard, and play sports, go here.
I love this school so much! Coming from a public middle school not as much funding, the teachers and education overall were not as great. The support from faculty here is amazing, and so is the community. When walking through the halls, you feel like these people around you will help you if you just ask. That sense of support is a necessity, especially in high school when most students feel alone. Here at SI, I can try new things even if I am terrified of the thought. This past year, I tried new sports, clubs, and even ran for student council! There are numerous new activities you can try out. If you think you will run out of things to try, that is where you are wrong. The campus is beautiful and HUGE. If you are looking for a wonderful college preparatory high school in the bay area, you should look into this one. Starting the school year online and during quarantine was tough, but the faculty was still very supportive and got us back in person as soon as they could.
