Founded in 1915, Hawken School is an independent, college preparatory day school serving over 1200 students in Preschool through Grade 12. With the mission to provide "forward-focused preparation for the real world through the development of character and intellect," Hawken offers capable and committed students a learning environment that is coeducational, pluralistic, and nonsectarian.

OUR MISSION The mission of University School is to develop promising and motivated boys into accomplished and independent young men who aspire to make a difference in the world. The school is rigorous. Our programs, led by challenging and supportive faculty, promote intellectual, physical, creative, and moral excellence. We believe these goals are best achieved in a diverse community where tradition is valued and where every boy is known and loved.

Cleveland's Catholic, Jesuit high school is rooted in Ignatian spirituality. Our education forms students to be open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to social justice. Graduates emerge as Men for Others. Located in close proximity to downtown Cleveland in the vibrant and energetic Ohio City neighborhood, the school occupies 23 acres and includes 19 buildings and three athletic fields. The school has 120 faculty members, 90 percent of whom hold advanced degrees. Fifty-seven percent have spent 10 years or more teaching at Saint Ignatius. Academically, Saint Ignatius is a regional and state leader in National Merit finalists and Advanced Placement scholars. Nearly 100 percent of Saint Ignatius students go on to four-year college programs at universities across the United States and beyond. The U.S. Department of Education has designated Saint Ignatius a Blue Ribbon school. Thanks to generous alumni and benefactors, nearly 50 percent of Saint Ignatius students receive some form of tuition assistance. With 20 programs composing the Christian Action Team, students perform, on average, more than 15,000 hours of non-required service annually.
