Xavier's Heritage and Tradition

Stemming from centuries of Jesuit commitment to educate the whole person, Xavier has a rich history, including a Jesuit heritage. As Jesuit schools have educated society's leaders for over 450 years, Xavier's Jesuit, Catholic tradition of academic excellence inspires students to think and communicate effectively, to foster a love of lifelong learning, to serve others, and to find God in all things.
