Leadership

For the past 125 years, the school’s mission has never wavered from the vision of its founding community: to educate young people to change the world through a life formation that focuses on forming the “whole person”. In Jesuit education, the road to academic excellence extends far beyond the confines of the traditional classroom.

Care for the “whole person” means ensuring students are not just intellectually competent, but that they are open to growth, loving, religious, and committed to doing justice. It means ensuring a balance of intellectual, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

For over 125 years, Loyola has fostered student engagement both inside and outside of the classroom. The competence, commitment, compassion, and conscience they have are nurtured by their involvement in all aspects of school life. They carry these qualities forward into life outside the school walls -- with their families, friends, communities and workplaces, and ultimately -- the world.

All of that starts here. The care and experience of our Faculty and Staff, our alumni and older students, provides an environment for Secondary 1 students that is immediately welcoming, stimulating, exciting and will change your child’s life and your family forever.

As our students say, “It is the ride of a lifetime”.

Comme le disent nos étudiants, c’est « une aventure hors du commun ». 

It is with great pleasure that we announce that the Loyola Board of Governors and the Jesuit Board of Directors approved and ratified the appointment of Dr. Mark Diachyshyn as Principal of Loyola High School starting for the 2022-23 school year. Dr. Diachyshyn is a product of a Jesuit education, having graduated from this school in 1996. After receiving degrees in English literature, history, and education, he returned to Loyola and has been an essential part of the fabric of this school ever since. Dr. Diachyshyn has stayed true to the intellectual curiosity instilled in him by his Jesuit formation by completing a Ph.D. in English Literature.

He has made an invaluable impact on this school, having been Vice-Principal of Academics (Senior School) since 2016, and having previously served as Department Head of English Language Arts. He is unwavering in his faith in God and has an unquestionable devotion to ensuring that our Jesuit, Catholic way of proceeding permeates through all we do.
