AT XAVERIAN, YOU WILL FIND A SCHOOL WHERE EVERY STUDENT MATTERS.
Catholic Identity Matters.
Molding Christian leaders who convert their faith into action. Our Catholic identity is the foundation for everything we do at Xaverian. It is our goal to mold our students into Christian leaders who convert their faith into action. This transformation occurs through daily prayer, school-wide masses, retreats at every grade level and Kairos retreats for upperclassmen, community service initiatives, and a rigorous, academic religion curriculum. Students are welcome to speak with our campus ministers, focus on their service initiatives, or find space for their continued prayer and reflection in our new campus ministry center.

Xaverian’s religion curriculum develops each student’s intellectual, moral, and spiritual potential, consistent with each one’s dignity and religious tradition. We strive to enable students to grow in the Catholic faith and to develop an appreciation and respect for other religions. A strong emphasis is placed on the concepts of social justice, service to the community, and the conviction that Catholic education is an expression of the mission entrusted to the Church by Jesus Christ. Xaverian is proud to have Fr. Sean Suckiel and Msgr. Peter Kain as our Chaplains, along with the Very Rev. Eugene Pappas, a renowned ecumenist, educator, missionary, and social activist, as our Christian Orthodox Chaplain. Twice monthly, Xaverian’s Christian Orthodox students gather to grow in their faith and pray together. Students are religious leaders within the school community; having the opportunity to organize and lead retreats, and serve as leaders at the Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School Retreats, where they meet students from the Xaverian schools in Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, and Massachusetts.

Ser vice Matters.
“Falling in love with the service of God.” Xaverian’s Campus Ministry program provides students with many opportunities to fall in love with service, from volunteering at a local soup kitchen to hosting local senior citizens for a fun-filled day of cheer near the holidays. Service efforts culminate in the Senior Involvement Program, where each senior dedicates a part of his/her week to volunteering at schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and soup kitchens as a means of living out our Catholic faith.

Experience Matters.
Internship program takes learning to new heights. Xaverian offers a unique internship experience for those students in the Honors Program. Based upon their preprofessional pathway, students are enrolled in IPAX, Internship Program at Xaverian. Relying on the resources of an alumni network of over 18,000 Clippers, students are paired with an alumnus in their desired field of study. Whether it be NYS Supreme Court Justices, doctors, advertising executives, or a Major League Baseball executive, students are able to experience their passions in the real-world, getting real-world advice and insight from their fellow Clipper.
“My internship with TradeMas Inc. was way more than just fulfilling hours for a school assignment. I never thought I would ever be able to say that at 17 years old I would be on the floor of the stock exchange, shadowing my mentor. Getting that real-life experience is something that has really only made me realize that this is what I want to pursue after high-school – and it has provided me with experiences that truly set me apart from other candidates when it comes time to apply to college.” –Logan Deitchman ‘20
