Gesu Elementary School Competitors

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.

Saint Joseph Academy is the only Catholic, all-girls high school in the city of Cleveland. It was founded in 1890 by the Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph and strives to foster unifying relationships with God and all creation. Saint Joseph Academy is committed to Catholic values and academic excellence in grades 9 through 12. We educate young women of diverse cultures, abilities and backgrounds, empowering them to be successful, compassionate leaders in the 21st global society. All are welcome!
