We are a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory high school serving more than 1700 young men and women in grades 9-12 in becoming Men and Women with and for Others.
With nearly 150 years of history behind us, we are a Roman Catholic educational community rooted firmly in the nearly 500-year-old model of Jesuit education, leading the way in preparing students for the 21st century.
Our unique educational model combines the advantages of single-sex instruction with opportunities for young men and women to collaborate, serve, pray and socialize together to form the whole person—mind, body and spirit.
The strength of Regis Jesuit is found in the depth and diversity of its broad community of students, parents and alumni who strengthen and share their gifts through a lifelong Raider experience.
The transformational student experience has been developed thanks to a long tradition of generous philanthropic support of our enduring educational mission.
Regis Jesuit is one of the nearly 80 Jesuit secondary and pre-secondary schools and 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in North America. Jesuit education is universally regarded as a model of excellence around the world. Guided in part by the Universal Apostolic Preferences, the goal of Jesuit education is to form leaders of competence, conscience and compassion who strive to build a better world.
Founded in 1877
Regis Jesuit is rooted in the Jesuit tradition of education established 500 years ago by St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of The Society of Jesus.

The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC) is an organization of men and women, 50 years old or better, who bring their extensive work, community, family and life experiences to serve and work with people who are marginalized for eight hours/week. In addition, IVC members receive spiritual support—gathering monthly to talk about their service experiences and meet individually with a spiritual reflector to reflect prayerfully on their apostolic work and discover the deeper meaning of their service.

Our Community of Jesuits
The Jesuit Community of Regis Jesuit lives within a five-minute walk of campus. The Jes Res is known to open its doors several times a year in a spirit of celebration and community for all at RJ.
Additionally, Regis Jesuit is blessed to have members from the U.S. Central and Southern Province's Alum Service Corps (ASC) serve at the school each year. ASC volunteers are generally recent college graduates who work and teach in one of the Province's schools as a way of giving back. Each year, we have up to four ASC volunteers as part of our school community. To learn more about ASC, visit their website: alumservicecorps.org.
