Growing up with a faith-based education my entire life, Xavier was a perfect fit for my four years of high school. Regardless of your faith, though, Xavier provides you with so many unique opportunities to grow into an incredibly well-rounded man, or what they call a "Man for Others." My time at Xavier has been filled with lasting friendships, encouraging mentors, memorable experiences, and so much more! I'm especially pleased with Xavier's emphasis on service. Through Xavier's variety of CFX (Companions of Francis Xavier) service programs, I've been able to travel around the country giving back in ways that I never could've imagined. Overall, Xavier has made my high school experience some of the best years of my life, and I'd recommend it to any prospective student who wants to make the most of their next four years!
Xavier High School is an amazing school that creates an environment that stimulus both academic and personal growth. Xavier's academics are very rigorous as a wide variety of both honors and AP courses are offered. In addition, Xavier offers many electives in several fields of study that help students engage in activities that they are passionate about and help them develop their interests they may pursue later in college. Aside from Xavier's strong academics, it is a Jesuit school and therefore emphasizes spiritual and personal development. The religion requirement is far from pure scripture teaching, it rather includes reflection on your true self, ethics, and social justice which is applicable to those of any religion. Xavier's inclusive environment is quite evident through their clubs such as the Gay Straight Alliance and the several cultural clubs. Xavier is a special place that offers both an outstanding education along with a place to realize your fullest potential.
My son is graduating this year from Xavier High School. Our experience has been exceptional, from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. Xavier emphasizes the importance of values and builds compassionate leaders, committed to improving the world. Apart from the academics, Xavier offers a wide variety of sports and clubs. The amount of financial support that Xavier provides to the student body is also of note. Also, as an added bonus, Xavier does a great job with college counseling.
