Jesuit High School

[EduCativ]

Jesuit High School is devoted to the formation of young men in the Tampa Bay area in the longstanding tradition of Jesuit education, which dates back to the 16th century. The Jesuits are known throughout the world as educators dedicated to "finding God in all things," and exploring wide-ranging cultures and academic fields. Jesuit education takes the whole person into account and fosters intellectual development along with moral and spiritual growth.
There are more than 50 Jesuit high schools in the United States, continuing the remarkable Jesuit educational tradition that values the richness and variety of human experience. Jesuit High School is dedicated to helping all students discover the deeper meaning and purpose in their lives while also finding their places in the larger society. With an unwavering commitment to service and social justice, Jesuit High School is educating "Men for Others" who develop their gifts and achieve at the highest level.
Jesuit High School, in its mission as a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school, labors to form men engaged in the world who are dedicated to serving God by being open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and just.
The current era of secondary education is an exciting one, with the infusion of technology and increasing emphasis on student engagement in the learning process. Jesuit has responded in a dynamic way to the changing needs of 21st-century education, with the successful introduction of the 1:1 iPad Program in 2014 as a prime example, as well as the remarkable progress of the Advanced Placement (AP) program. From 2014-18, five years, Jesuit achieved an annual pass rate of between 76% and 84% on all AP tests taken, while increasing its AP opportunities every year. In 2018, Jesuit matched its school-record 84% pass rate with a record-high 13 AP courses (out of 23) exceeding 90%, while administering more AP tests (865) to more students (402) in more AP courses (23) than ever before. Also, in conjunction with Project Lead The Way, a new 3-year Engineering program was incorporated into the curriculum in 2016-17 that will produce its first graduates in 2019. More than 150 students are enrolled in Jesuit's Engineering program in 2018-19. While Jesuit continues its pursuit of Academic Excellence, at the same time it remains true to its heritage of forming men of faith and "Men for Others."
