Experience Loyola
The Region's #1 School for Boys

At Loyola Blakefield, the student experience is about more than academics — it’s where Dons grow as leaders, serve as Men for Others, and forge lifelong bonds. From the classroom to the athletic field to global service trips, every day here is rooted in Ignatian values that shape young men ready to change the world.

What makes Loyola the region’s #1 destination for boys in grades 6–12?

From our extraordinary faculty and staff to our innovative curriculum and dedication to forming the whole person, Loyola’s approach to education goes beyond the classroom. These defining qualities reflect our commitment to developing young men of faith, intellect, and character while creating an experience unlike any other.
A Jesuit School

Jesuit schools are among the best in the world, and we are proud to serve our region by providing an unrivaled spiritual and educational experience in the Ignatian tradition. Our students achieve academic excellence here as the beginning of a lifelong discipline and pursuit, inseparable from faith and serving others. We call this process “educating the whole person” or Cura Personalis.
Inspired Academics

Students benefit from our unique formation, which holds as its first priority the personal care and support of the individual student. Our academic program prepares young men for a life of inquiry, learning, decision-making, and insight. Students explore diverse course offerings and come to read more closely, think more carefully, and write more clearly. We ensure the appropriate level of support and rigor that is best for the individual student—one of the many reasons your son will succeed in college and beyond.
Community

The Loyola experience is shared by faculty, staff, students, families, alumni, and friends. Whether we are coming together to support our mission, gathering for spiritual celebrations, or working alongside one another to serve the greater good, everyone contributes to the vibrancy and impact of Loyola Blakefield.
Inclusion

We believe in the power and necessity of diversity to achieve a greater richness of ideas and to prepare our Dons to be leaders in an increasingly global community. Our students enjoy a campus that draws from the entire metropolitan region, bringing young men who possess a variety of talents and perspectives. Each blazes his own path as he grows during his time here. We celebrate the engineer-artist, the poet-athlete, the cyber-musician and everything in between.
Dedicated Faculty & Staff

We pride ourselves on matching pride in our mission with extraordinary expertise. From our teachers in the classroom, coaches on the field, and administrative staff, Loyola’s commitment to quality is unwavering. When you visit our campus, you’ll be greeted by the many smiling faces of our gifted faculty and staff.

Built for Boys

Loyola Blakefield is purposefully built for boys — because we know young men thrive when every part of their day is designed for how they learn best. Our flexible schedule, innovative use of technology, and dynamic teaching methods keep boys actively engaged and challenged in ways that spark curiosity and build confidence. Outside the classroom, a robust range of co-curriculars, clubs, and athletics help our students channel their energy, form lasting bonds, and grow as leaders. Here, learning isn’t passive — it’s hands-on, collaborative, and tailored to the unique ways boys discover their strengths and shape their future. Our recipe for success produces graduates who have all the skills to succeed in college and beyond.
