About Gesu School

Gesu School, an independent Catholic school located in North Philadelphia, is recognized as a national model for inner-city education. Co-directed by the Jesuits and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM), Gesu serves 450 children in grades Pre-K through 8. Gesu School embraces the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, care of the whole person, and the IHM belief that every child can learn, by offering resources to build academic and soft skills across a range of ability levels.

Inspired by the Jesuit and IHM traditions of social justice, faith, creative hope, and love, Gesu School’s mission is to help students to transcend all forms of poverty by providing a comprehensive, innovative education. We empower our students to develop their strengths, overcome challenges, and become positive, engaged members of the community and the world.
