From St. Louis University High School
We are a Catholic, Jesuit college-preparatory school for young men, committed to our presence in the city of St. Louis and dedicated to building Christ’s kingdom of truth, justice, love and peace. We serve young men based on their ability to succeed, rather than their economic circumstances.
Through a rigorous academic program, we help our students develop critical minds and a life-long devotion to learning that informs moral choices and transforms lives. We help them develop compassionate hearts by fostering habits of personal prayer, reflection and service for the Greater Glory of God.
Founded in 1818, St. Louis University High School (SLUH) is the oldest private, Catholic high school West of the Mississippi. SLUH is part of a 470-year-old Jesuit tradition of schools known worldwide for their academic excellence and rich spirituality.
SLUH’s focus in its endeavors reflects the Jesuit motto“Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam”, a Latin term meaning “For the Greater Glory of God.”

The curriculum, teachers and overall experience has been very good! They prepare the students for college, strengthen their faith and foster a unique brotherhood for life. My only suggestion for improvement is communication. At times parents rely on other parents through the Facebook class page to inform or clarify information. For example, incoming seniors recently received a summer mailer about senior pictures at school this summer, but no other information was provided via school email so at first I thought it was a marketing mailer and I almost tossed it.
SLUH is an excellent college preparatory school with good diversity, fantastic faculty & administration, and a strong moral and ethical dictum for both students and parents. The curriculum is very advanced and the course material is absolutely going to prepare my son for a top university. The school also has a number of leadership and growth opportunities for all students, which has really helped my son grow as an individual. The school uses technology very well for in class learning and grade/progress tracking. SLUH builds a strong sense of school pride and really tries to connect students for the long term as alumni, which only helps the school continue its excellent track record going forward. It's an excellent school for very motivated students who seek application to top 1 and 2 tier universities.
I loved Saint Louis University High. It was an extremely formative experience and I wouldn't trade my Jesuit education for anything. Aside from brilliant academics and wonderful extracurriculars, the spirit of the school and its mission has made a lasting impact on my life. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, or "To the Greater Glory of God" was a constant reminder that every thought and action matters, so it's necessary to make the most of them. I learned that life is truly about the little things, the small interactions with family, friends, and others, the small decisions we make for the betterment of others.
