Loyola School was founded on its present
site, which is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, by the Society
of Jesus in 1900. The school has a rich tradition in educating
students for the service to others. In 1973, Loyola became a
coeducational secondary school. It
currently serves the Tri-State region as the only Jesuit,
Independent, and coeducational high
school
The School is guided by the vision of St. Ignatius Loyola and the
Jesuit philosophy of education - which is to prepare its graduates who are
men and women of competence, conscience and compassion. It seeks to
educate the entire person: body, mind, heart, and soul. As an
independent school, Loyola provides a challenging and comprehensive
college preparatory curriculum, a variety of extracurricular activities
and a competitive athletic program. The school's student body
enrollment is 210, and a teacher/student ratio of 1:12 generates a genuine
feeling of family and sense of community.
The student body is diverse representing all five boroughs, suburban
New Jersey, and Westchester County. They
are active and extremely involved in the life of the community and the
community at large. It is important to understand that our students
learn from a committed and dynamic faculty that thrives on challenging and
supporting motivated students. Their pursuit of academic excellence,
extracurricular activities and athletics are balanced and embraced by an
energetic faculty and volunteers from the Parents Association.
