Ways to Give

A Jesuit education is a gift that transforms lives. The educational experience at Loyola Academy is rooted in the powerful vision of St. Ignatius, which prioritizes service to others, personal reflection, discernment and prayer. These tools ground our students in strong Jesuit values and instill in them a desire to pursue the great questions of our existence. With your support, Loyola Academy students are poised to make a profound impact on the world.

Gifts of all sizes enable us to provide exceptional spiritual, academic, athletic and arts programming to every Rambler every day. Thank you.
