From a student’s first day on campus, he is encouraged to engage in all that Jesuit’s formational program has to offer. In that spirit, students are invited to enjoy the rich traditions of our School and create unique and meaningful endeavors. Student life grows from a foundation of shared Ignatian values – brotherhood, commitment, and integrity –although the path to a life-changing experience is unique to each individual and the possibilities virtually limitless. In becoming part of our Jesuit Dallas family, we urge you to unleash your potential, nurture your passions, find your place, and Discover Your Story!

PROFILE OF THE GRADUATE

Education in the Jesuit tradition is a call to human excellence. The School's focus on formation of the whole person results in men who exemplify the ideal described in The Profile of the Graduate, which describes the characteristics of a man who seeks the fullest development of his God-given talents and puts his faith in action. The Profile is a cornerstone in every young man’s story – it touches every aspect of life at Jesuit Dallas – and at graduation, the Jesuit student has come to embody the tenets described in the profile.

Committed to Working for Justice

“The patron saint of our School, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, S.J., wrote that we ought not to be content with being hearers, but doers. Jesuit Dallas offers a unique educational experience that goes beyond intellectual mastery and addresses the formation of the whole person. When Father Pedro Arrupe, S.J., coined the term Men for Others , he was challenging all of our students and graduates to use their Jesuit educations to live a life as God’s hands on Earth. This is our difference.”

– President Mike Earsing

INTELLECTUALLY COMPETENT

At graduation, a Jesuit student will have experienced a curriculum designed to open him to the richness of his own intellect, as well as the world of nature and man.

Jesuit Dallas emphasizes academic excellence and intellectual challenge while simultaneously seeking to inspire a joy in learning and a thirst for greater and deeper knowledge. A multi-time National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence with a distinguished record of scholastic achievement, Jesuit is highly regarded by college professors and recruiters for producing well-prepared and deep-thinking graduates. Jesuit Dallas has nine academic departments and over 130 courses. All courses are taught at the college preparatory level or above, including 31 courses that are Advanced Placement or college dual credit.

“As a student who struggled in math and science, I remember feeling very nervous as an incoming freshman, unaware of the abundant resources offered to students. It took dedication and patience my first year at Jesuit, and as a sophomore I began staying after school to work in the Math Lab. It was here that I not only found effective ways for learning and studying, but where I encountered something I never thought would be possible; a passionate love for mathematics and the sciences! My teachers’ enthusiasm for discovery and learning quickly spread to me, and from that moment I have been totally captivated by the mysteries of the universe. I will forever be indebted to Jesuit for creating an environment that has offered me the opportunity to build authentic relationships, ask questions, seek thoughtful answers, and most importantly, discover joy in learning and a hunger for knowledge.”

In the last five years, 635 students have earned designation through the AP Scholarship program and 168 students have earned recognition by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.

*Dual Credit Courses

COLLEGE CREDIT

Jesuit students are highly motivated and often have specific academic goals. In addition to providing an enriching academic experience, students can earn college credit as part of progressing through the School’s college preparatory curriculum, Many students have graduated with over 30 college credit hours in recent years, thus getting a head start on their college and graduate degree path.

Jesuit has a long-standing partnership with the St. Louis University (SLU) 1818 Dual Credit program, which recognizes the rigor of our classes and awards college credit for enrollment and grades earned in approved courses. Additionally, students may be permitted to attend university courses online or have their Jesuit class schedules arranged to accommodate on-site classes at a local university.

Featuring hundreds of works by internationally celebrated artists such as Claes Oldenburg and Salvador Dalí, the Jesuit Dallas Museum is the only nationally accredited fine arts museum in the country housed inside a school.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

The academic experience at Jesuit is enriched through research projects, field trips, lab tours, and extracurricular competition. Additionally, academic, social justice, cultural immersion, and exchange programs take our students all over the globe.

Our mission-driven approach to international exchange programs with our global partners in Toulouse, France, Milan, Italy, Guadalajara, Mexico, and Lima, Peru, continues to enrich our local Jesuit community, while our students actively participate in academic programs and service projects in China and Rome, and throughout South America, the Caribbean, and the United States. These experiences provide the opportunity for students to take learning outside of the classroom, serve the poor and marginalized, and understand more fully the diverse cultures of our world.

RELIGIOUS

At graduation, a Jesuit student has been challenged to examine his own religious beliefs and traditions and been invited to choose his fundamental relationship to God.

Students at Jesuit are part of a community which seeks to nurture the seeds of religious faith and commitment to growth in each individual, while students and staff are supported in their individual call to proclaim their faith, promote justice, and grow in their personal relationship with God. Nearly 70% of the student body identifies as Catholic, although all members of the Jesuit Dallas family, regardless of their religious background, are invited and welcomed to participate in the spiritual offerings of the School as they develop their own individual relationship with God.

“As a junior, my classmates and I participated in a Kairos retreat designed to prepare us to be leaders for upcoming senior retreats. This experience had a profound impact on me and opened my eyes to God’s presence in me and my companions. We all have different backgrounds and unique struggles, but God comforts us through family, friends, and companionship. During the retreat, as we pushed through our vulnerabilities, I realized that I was not alone. I understood where God was in my life and how our faith is intertwined with our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. As Jesuit emphasized our Catholic faith, I began to orient my life towards prayer to live in His quiet presence, giving time for God at school and home. At Jesuit, I have developed an open-mindedness with my Jesuit brothers and now look forward to practicing my faith daily.”

On most school days, students and staff participate in The Examen, a prayerful reflection intended to detect God’s presence and to help us see God’s hand at work in our life.

PRAYER

Prayer is the central way an individual develops his relationship with God, and prayer and reflection are an integral part of the Jesuit experience. Jesuit students are offered many opportunities to experience prayer as a large community including weekly prayer services, daily morning prayer, before and after extracurricular activities, and The Examen.

SACRAMENTS

Mass, the central prayer of the Catholic Church, is celebrated by the entire School community each month throughout the year. Each student also has the option to attend daily morning Mass in the School’s chapel. Reconciliation services are also offered by Jesuit priests during specific times throughout the year.

RETREATS

Every student participates in annual retreats where he is invited into reflection and dialogue rooted in the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius. Culminating in the overnight Kairos during senior year, students on retreat are asked to deepen their understanding of who they are and who God is calling them to be.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Students are welcome to join class-specific faith-based organizations such as Religious Rangers, Faithful Fellows, Godly Guys, and Living the Fourth to deepen their relationship with Christ and one another, as well as Jesuit’s pro-life club, Rangers for Life.

OPEN TO GROWTH

At graduation, a Jesuit student has begun to see, understand, and confront the many facets of the human condition, not only its frustrations and failings, but its grandeur and glory.

In many ways being open to growth is the central tenet in the Profile of the Graduate, and it’s certainly central to your story, as everything comes after we take responsibility for our own actions and growth. Learning is a life-long process of intellectual, spiritual, and personal development and all students at Jesuit are taught to seek opportunities that develop one’s own body, imagination, feelings, and religious consciousness.

“In my desire for a greater high school experience, I matriculated to Jesuit from a public middle school, and it has been an amazing journey thus far. The past two summers, I had the opportunity to attend service immersion trips to Guatemala and Monterrey, respectively. These experiences emphasized to me the importance of engaging in solidarity with those less fortunate. While the academics have been challenging, my Jesuit education has strengthened my abilities and instilled in me the confidence to be successful. I have also benefited from teachers who seek to connect with their students beyond what’s happening in class. Along with academics, I have joined extracurriculars that interest me, including participating heavily in Jesuit’s Medical Society and as an admissions ambassador. My experience at Jesuit has been transformative, pushing me to excel academically, athletically, and spiritually, while also providing me with opportunities to serve and lead within my community.”

100% of the student body participates in at least one of the School’s 100+ extracurricular offerings, which includes nationally reputable programs in athletics, the arts, and sciences.

STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) has been a priority at Jesuit for many years. Whether it has been through facilities upgrades, programmatic commitments, faculty training, or curricular adjustments, Jesuit continues to be at the forefront of preparing students for enacting change in the 21st century. All classes at all levels incorporate projects and problems that challenge students to find God and act for justice. Thus, while there is no formal STEM endorsement, Jesuit is proud to be nationally competitive in regards to preparing students for the 21st century fields of science, technology, engineering, and math. In addition to receiving accolades from Newsweek as a top STEM school in America, Jesuit’s world-championship robotics team has received every technical award available at the national level.

DEBATE

Jesuit Dallas Debate has a proud tradition of excellence, as students engage in high level discussions over economics, politics, law, social justice, philosophy, science and technology, enhancing their cultural and political competence. The skills students cultivate through debate are increasingly necessary for navigating the world of information and disinformation and are valued highly by college admissions counselors and employers. Debate requires mastery of argument across many disciplines, and argumentation with evidence, which is fundamental to debate, is a cornerstone of a thriving democracy. A multi-time state champion, in 2024 Jesuit extended its Texas state record of at least one team in the top 20 at the state championships to 25 years!

THE ARTS

In addition to nurturing interests in traditional subjects such as studio art and ceramics, Jesuit’s curriculum has expanded to include emerging media with many students pursuing interests in filmmaking and broadcasting. The performing arts have played a vital part in our community since Jesuit Dallas first opened its doors. The stage & film program, which produces four major productions each year in the Melsheimer Family Theater, includes opportunities for growth in stage acting, directing, theater arts, and technical theater (stagecraft). The instrumental and vocal music program offers exciting and challenging musical opportunities, including marching band, concert band, string orchestra, men’s chorus, jazz ensemble, and wind and percussion ensembles. Performing groups are open to all, including students with a desire to learn a new instrument.

PHYSICALLY FIT

At graduation, a Jesuit student has come to value the ideal of a sound mind in a sound body, and as a means for enhancing his growth as a well-rounded gentleman.

As part of the formational experience, each student at Jesuit is introduced to means and the importance of maintaining good physical condition throughout their lives. Yes, competitive athletics – Jesuit Dallas offers a staggering 22 different varsity sports – is an important part of the School’s vibrant culture, but being physically fit is more than lifting weights and scoring touchdowns. It’s about taking care of our bodies, which includes sleep, nutrition, companionship, and committing to a routine or lifestyle that emphasizes fitness. Additionally, the School maintains a certified athletic training staff and sports medicine office to meet the needs of all students.

“My experience at Jesuit has been highlighted by the immense number of clubs and extracurriculars Jesuit has to offer. Growing up, soccer has always been an important part of my life, and being part of a top program like Jesuit has not only been athletically rewarding but has resulted in friendships that will last a lifetime. Through earlymorning practices and late-night games, my classmates and I have created a deep bond that is best described as a brotherhood. A majority of students participate in some form of athletics, and Jesuit encourages all students to be mentally, spiritually, and physically strong. Thanks to Jesuit, my passion for soccer has increased, I have found a love for service, and I have been able to grow my faith and connect with God in wonderful ways.”

In the last five years, Jesuit Dallas studentathletes have received 584 honors at the national, state, and district level.

Jesuit Dallas competes in the largest classification of the University Interscholastic League (UIL), the athletic and extracurricular governing body for the state’s public and charter schools, while also providing numerous intramural offerings. In recent years, the soccer and baseball teams have reached the top of the high school national rankings, while crew, cycling, rugby, and lacrosse are considered benchmark programs throughout the region. As one of the most celebrated high school programs in the history of Texas, the Rangers have won 130 team state championships in 14 sports, while Jesuit Dallas alumni have gone on to compete professionally in the NFL, MLB, NBA, PGA, MLS, Premier League (England), and Bundesliga (Germany).

ATHLETIC FACILITIES

Spread across Jesuit’s 34-acre campus, the School’s athletic facilities provide ample space for our students to train, recover, and compete. The Duda Athletic Center serves as the gateway to Jesuit’s primary indoor complex, which includes the Dell Performance Center, a fully equipped 9,000-sq. ft. training facility, and Walsh Gymnasium, the famously intimate home venue for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling (bring your ear plugs!). Ranger Stadium, which holds nearly 5,000 fans, provides the backdrop for Friday Night Lights in the fall and the Jesuit-Sheaner Relays in the spring, one of the most prestigious track & field meets in the country. Known affectionately as “The Gull,” the David A. Segal Family Aquatic Center is a 28,000-sq. ft. dual pool natatorium, while Dove Fieldhouse is a dedicated indoor training facility integrating state-of-the-art technology and innovative training solutions for crew, cycling, and golf. Wright Field is a beautiful, enclosed park that serves the Rangers’ state-championship baseball program.

LOVING

At graduation, a Jesuit student has begun to move beyond self-interest. His experience as part of a loving school community has led him to find real happiness and joy.

Love is a gift; it is an invitation from God to be one with Christ. To love is to encourage; it is compassionate, selfless, empathetic, and respectful. While in formation, we seek opportunities to celebrate and encourage our students when they demonstrate love and, when necessary, redirect them when they fail to demonstrate love for themselves or one another. St. Ignatius calls upon us to seek to find God in all things. This orients us toward a place where we can better receive God’s love and, in receiving that love, are more capable of sharing that love as God’s hands of earth.

“I live 50 miles away from Jesuit, and despite the challenges of such a long commute (and riding the bus from Fort Worth), I am so grateful for my Jesuit experience. Jesuit has offered me more than just an education – it’s given me a purpose, helped restore my faith, and welcomed me into a caring and inclusive community. Through amazing programs, like the Medical Society, I discovered a passion for medicine. When I stepped away from my faith, it was the student club, Faithful Fellas, where I found a community that showed me that I wasn’t alone and strengthened my faith. I grandly cherish the Jesuit community. It is a place where I feel seen, heard, and encouraged to be my best self and where the relationships I have formed with my teachers and peers are truly lifelong. I am proud to say that Jesuit has shaped me into the young man I am today.”

Jesuit sponsors an award-winning chapter of Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer support program that strives to reduce the stigma of mental illness through education, training, and peer intervention.

A COMMUNITY OF INCLUSION

We are called to model Christ’s love in all of our thoughts and actions, and as such Jesuit Dallas stands against bigotry, racism, and hatred of any kind. One of our goals is to foster a community that reflects the rich diversity of the Dallas metroplex so that students and families are introduced to the vibrant cultures that make us unique. A diverse population encourages dialogue, growth, and inclusivity, which are vital elements in forming young men to become true community servants as Men for Others

The diversity and inclusion programs at Jesuit are committed to helping students discover the magis (the more) in themselves and in the members of their diverse community, which include race, religion, gender, age, ability, geography and socio-economic status. This discovery better prepares students to contribute to a multicultural world, one in which local, national, and international tensions are often grounded in cultural, religious, and linguistic differences.

37% OF THE STUDENT BODY IDENTIFIES AS RACIALLY OR ETHNICALLY DIVERSE

African-American – 3%

Asian – 6%

Hispanic – 20%

Multi-racial – 7%

Native American – 1%

White/Non-Hispanic – 63%

STUDENT WELLNESS

Jesuit’s highly regarded guidance and counseling program, which is staffed by 14 full-time grade level professionals, supports the academic, spiritual, emotional, and psychological development of each student, including the many families for whom English is not a first language. Jesuit also offers additional wellness resources throughout the year, including the exploration of contemporary issues through an Ignatian lens and parent and student meetings.

COMMITTED TO WORKING FOR JUSTICE

At graduation, a Jesuit student has begun to examine himself and his world in terms of the justice which a living faith requires, and to take appropriate action to render them more just.

Community service and social justice are cornerstones in the educational ethos at Jesuit Dallas. Our programs are designed to be context-driven and student-centered with the core belief that when student formation is given highest priority, everyone benefits in the long-term. As a student serves in the community, he proceeds toward greater awareness of his place as a servant-leader while recognizing his responsibility as a Man for Others in the Jesuit tradition of service that is inspired by Christ’s life and the teachings of St. Ignatius.

“The most important lesson Jesuit has taught me is the importance of not only serving others, but being WITH others, as a reflection of their dignity as humans and in lifting and supporting our neighbors in their struggles. This message truly resonated with me during my time at Casa San Nicolas, a group home in Monterrey for individuals and families migrating from Latin America to the United States. It was an eye opening and humbling experience that showed me not just the immense suffering in our world, but also the true strength of the indomitable human spirit. Spending time with the local community changed my worldview and deepened my gratitude.

Jesuit has taught me to truly become a man for and with others, nurturing me as an individual and forming me into a well-rounded, better version of myself.”

Partnering annually with over 300 organizations locally and abroad, Jesuit Dallas operates the largest high school community service department in the State of Texas and is a leader nationally.

OUTCOMES

Jesuit Dallas maintains a 100% college acceptance rate, with many graduates attending their first school of choice. In the past five years, Jesuit Dallas graduates have been accepted to all five U.S. service academies, all eight Ivy League institutions, and each of the top 20 “National Universities” in America as listed by U.S. News & World Report .

87% of the Jesuit Dallas Class of 2024 reported receiving a college scholarship or award totaling over $40 million while members of the class have enrolled in 94 different colleges in the United States and Europe.

“As an alumnus of Jesuit Dallas who has now talked to many people from other schools around Dallas and around the country, I can’t imagine a better place to have attended high school. Jesuit’s motto is Men for Others and this is a mindset the School instills continuously and effectively through community service opportunities, international service trips, and insightful class conversations. The academics are phenomenal with a wide range of honors and AP classes taught by very dedicated and knowledgeable teachers in addition to a breadth of electives including band, orchestra, pottery, anatomy, and Latin. Having attended Harvard after graduating from Jesuit, I can confidently say I was very well prepared academically. The athletics are also superb with dozens of teams, state-of-the-art practice facilities, and high student engagement. Still, the athletic culture is not overwhelming, and it’s easy to get involved.”

– Will Nickols ’20

A LASTING BROTHERHOOD

One of the most unique and enriching aspects of the Jesuit experience is the lifelong brotherhood of our young men. Through their formation as students, Jesuit Dallas alumni are forever connected and forever changed, and many relationships remain intact throughout the rest of their lives.

After students graduate, the Jesuit Dallas Alumni Association offers a number of annual events, services, and programs for former Jesuit students, as the Jesuit experience has such a profound impact on all those who have been shaped by the journey into becoming a Man for Others

We want you to Discover Your Story, but also to discover your legacy! The impact of Jesuit Dallas alumni in the world is far-reaching and filled with extraordinary accomplishments in the fields of medicine, business, education, law, athletics, and entertainment. As described by Jesuit Dallas President Mike Earsing, “Our students are not just called to be the best in the world; they are called to be the best for the world.”

ALL-BOY ADVANTAGE

Jesuit Dallas believes that an all-boys environment allows for effective implementation of teaching strategies geared for teenage boys, lessens social pressures, and results in a meaningful brotherhood that most of our alumni carry with them throughout the rest of their lives. Our boys do have lots of opportunities to meet girls through organized social gatherings, community events and coed activities such as band, theater, and cheerleading.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING…

• Jesuit Dallas is not just a school comprised of boys, but a school specifically for boys. Every aspect of our formational program is designed to respond to the needs of our young men and guide them along the journey towards full and responsible manhood. Our teachers have mastered developing the full potential of our students and the techniques to optimize student motivation.

• With no girls to impress, the daily environment gives our boys the freedom to be themselves. Conformity gives way to individuality. Our students are able to discover their true identity in the safety of the community.

• Our students are encouraged and feel more comfortable pursuing a variety of interests. Research shows that young men who attend an all-boys school are more than twice as likely to study subjects such as art, music, and foreign language at an advanced level and to engage in a wider array of experiences. It is common for a Jesuit student to participate in the arts, athletics, and student council.

• A study by the U.S. Department of Education found that parents who switched their sons to an all-boys school observed an increased eagerness to learn and compete academically.

• The learning environment at Jesuit fosters camaraderie and lifelong friendships. Our students come from many different backgrounds, and they have unique interests, personalities, and skills, just like at many other schools. Our students embrace the differences in one another and treat each other like brothers.

As part of Jesuit’s all-inclusive tuition model, breakfast and lunch is available to all students, while digital textbooks are also provided to students without any additional cost.

Jesuit Dallas has established a tradition of scholastic and personal achievement that is second-to-none among secondary schools. We understand that the cost of an excellent program is significant, and we are committed to making this experience available for all students, regardless of their ability to pay.

Candidates for admission are considered solely on the merits of their academic ability and character, and the need for financial aid has no bearing on admission.

Most financial assistance is based on demonstrated financial need although nearly two dozen merit-based scholarships totaling are awarded each year across all grade levels. During the 2024-25 academic year, Jesuit Dallas granted more than $3.1 million in financial assistance to over 25% of the student body, with the average financial aid grant covering 54% of tuition. Additionally, all students have the ability to assist in covering the cost of tuition by earning a work grant scholarship of $1,000 per year.

NEW STUDENT FAQ

WHAT DOES AN AVERAGE CLASS DAY LOOK LIKE?

Every day begins with an alpha and omega period, which is reserved for extracurricular activities. Students have five 55-minute classes per day with 10-minute passing periods (each class meets five times in a seven-day rotating cycle). Each day includes dedicated Personal Responsibility Time (PRT) for students to study and meet with teachers and Community Time for club meetings and other activities.

IS THE FOOD GOOD?

Jesuit offers a wide variety of fresh-made and nutritious menu items for breakfast and lunch each day school is in session and the quality of the food is consistently excellent. With a focus on allergy awareness, menus can be custom-tailored to fit each student’s needs, while all foods are prepared from scratch by a dedicated team of chefs using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Students are also encouraged to provide feedback to the dining services team.

DO JESUIT STUDENTS HAVE A UNIFORM?

Instead of a specific uniform, students must follow a dress code that allows for the freedom to wear clothes that reflect everyone’s personality within class-specific guidelines. All students are expected to wear a collared shirt and tie on regular school days, while blazers are worn from late fall to early spring.

HOW DO NEW STUDENTS GET INVOLVED?

The counseling staff meets individually with each new student to determine how best to make their transition to Jesuit as easy as possible. Weekly guidance classes help orient new students with the traditions and events at Jesuit, and with over 100 extracurricular clubs, teams, and programs, there is something for everyone and plenty of opportunities to meet new friends.

HOW CAN PARENTS GET INVOLVED?

Jesuit leverages an expansive network of volunteers to support students, faculty, and staff, and there are numerous ways for parents to become quickly connected. Among the most notable organizational opportunities are Jesuit Parents Appreciate Teachers, and Staff (JPATS), Jesuit Women’s Auxiliary (JWA), Mentor Parents, and Moms in Prayer, as well as many program-specific opportunities.

DOES JESUIT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION?

Jesuit students matriculate from more than 100 different zip codes around the DFW metroplex, and while a few students may have the luxury to walk, many others commute from large distances. Current parents serve as mentors for new families to help arrange carpools, and reserved student parking on campus is available.

Jesuit Dallas students originate from 101 zip codes and 45 cities in the State of Texas.

779 students live in the City of Dallas with more than 350 coming from the surrounding cities and neighborhoods.
