President's Message

From our beginning in 1896 Loyola has aspired to be among the best. Our students thrive in our culture of innovation, our community of discovery and our spirituality. We are proud of our traditions, our impact, and our vision for the future.

Learning at Loyola happens in the classrooms, the library, the labs, the retreats, the Kiaros Retreat, on the courts and playing fields, on the benches in the Atrium, in the Chapel and at the monthly school Liturgies. Our learning community is about discovering how to ask the right kinds of questions, how to be critical thinkers, and how to find solutions. All of this is guided by a solid link to our Catholic and Jesuit roots.

Since Jesuits first started coming to Canada, education has been a vital and key ministry. Jesuit education is described as world-affirming, in that it assists in the total formation of each individual within the human community. Jesuit education tries to foster the creative Spirit at work in each person, offering the opportunity for a faith response to God. Jesuit education is not just preparation for exams; it is a preparation of the student for life while also promoting a dialogue between faith and culture.

The goal of Jesuit Education is to help people discover their destiny in God's image. With Christ as the model of all human life, we want our pupils to become men at the service of others, "Men for Others".

Fr. Rob Brennan, S.J.,

President, Loyola High School
