Gesu School

Hailed as a national model for inner-city education, Gesu School is an independent Catholic, Jesuit elementary school educating 450 children in Pre-K through 8th grade. Inspired by the Jesuit and IHM traditions of social justice, faith, creative hope, and love, Gesu School helps 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. In a city where approximately 69% of public high school students graduate from high school in four years, 90% of Gesu alumni graduate high school on time, and of those graduates, 86% go on to college or post-secondary education.
