Loyola College Prep

Jordan Harris, Loyola College Prep Director of Communications

SINCE 1902, LOYOLA COLLEGE PREP HAS REMAINED ONE OF THE TOP PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE REGION. Guided by three student pillars, Academic Excellence, Faith in Action, and Student Involvement, graduating students are able to distinguish themselves from their peers and call upon their Catholic education as they move forward in their life pursuits.

Students of all faith backgrounds join as a student body for weekly Mass at the Cathedral of St. John Berchmans just footsteps away from the campus. Of the 35 student organizations available at Loyola, there are countless opportunities to serve the community and show the love of Jesus Christ.

John LeBlanc ‘84, Loyola’s Principal, has served in nearly every capacity at the school. From math instructor to head baseball and head football coach to Athletic Director to Assistant Principal of Academics to Director of Advancement, he brings tremendous knowledge and experience as the head of school.

“Serving at Loyola for over 30 years has been the greatest experience,” he said. “As a student, I never realized the impact of walking through our campus hallways knowing nearly everyone. As an administrator at the school, I fully understand that our small class sizes, teachers who treat their career as vocation rather than a job, innovative faith-based course curriculum, dynamic athletic programs, dozens of student involvement opportunities, and caring community truly distinguish us from other high schools.”

Loyola also uniquely provides quality individualized advising and preparation for college and offers 15 Advanced Placement courses, several dual enrollment courses and the Ray Dass standardized test preparation.

Loyola has a dedicated Director of College Placement, Anna Beth Clark ‘07, who begins working with students their Freshman year on what is called “The Road to College.” The Road to College begins with creating a Naviance account Freshman year, career exploration and aptitude assessments Sophomore year, college readiness boot camps and personalized college consultations Junior year, and one-on-one family consultations for college applications, financial assistance, and scholarship applications during Senior year. This process has led our students to average $10.5 million in scholarships before the addition of TOPS over the last 9 years.

“Our goal is to not only see our students succeed once they leave high school, but we also want to help alleviate the stress of planning and preparing for college,” Mrs. Clark said. “We are proud that 99% of our graduates start college the following fall. We work hard to ensure they are successful and achieve their goals.”

Loyola features extensive tuition assistance programs for incoming and current families. Once admitted and enrolled, families will be able to apply for tuition assistance through a third-party application process. Each year, roughly 25% of all families at Loyola receive some form of tuition assistance.

From 9-month, 12-month or personalized payment plans, Loyola’s Finance Office will work with each individual family to ensure their student’s enrollment. Families may schedule a confidential financial assistance conversation with the Loyola Finance Office by calling (318) 226-6293.
