Firmly rooted in the Jesuit tradition of education established nearly 500 years ago by St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus; and in Catholic educational tradition, Jesuit High School Sacramento provides a dynamic environment for academic, spiritual, and social growth. For over 50 years, Jesuit Sacramento challenges students from all backgrounds and beliefs with a rigorous academic program that prepares them for college and builds a foundation for life. 

A Jesuit student is educated to be intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving and committed to doing justice, the Jesuit ideals of the Graduate at Graduation. From his first steps on campus, a Jesuit student is challenged in the classroom, in interest clubs, through the arts and on the playing field; inspired through service opportunities; and supported and encouraged during liturgy and retreats. These combined experiences contribute to great academic, personal and spiritual growth building the whole person with a solid foundation.

From its historical origins, Ignatian philosophy always has insisted that students educated within these Jesuit principles not only use this education to better their own lives but also must strive to better the lives of others. Men of Jesuit. Men for Others.
