Company Overview
About Saint Ignatius High School:
Saint Ignatius High School is a Jesuit college-preparatory school with a Catholic tradition rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The school enrolls more than 1,450 students from 40 cities in a seven-county region. These young men enrich one another through learning in the classroom, creating in the arts, competing on the athletic fields and serving those in need.
A Saint Ignatius education prepares students to become competent, concerned and socially responsible members of their communities. With a motto of “Men for Others,” there is a prime concern for the development of Christian values among all students.
Part of the Saint Ignatius student experience includes the promotion of faith in the service of justice.
Located in close proximity to downtown Cleveland in the historic Ohio City neighborhood, Saint Ignatius occupies 18.5 acres with 18 buildings and three athletic fields. The faculty includes 109 members, 87 percent of whom have spent 10 years or more teaching at Saint Ignatius.
Our Workplace:
Praise, reverence, and service should mark the relationship that exists not only between teachers and students, but among all members of the school community. Ideally, Jesuit schools should be places where people are believed in, honored and cared for; where the natural talents and creative abilities of persons are recognized and celebrated; where individual contributions and accomplishments are appreciated; where everyone is treated fairly and justly; where sacrifice on behalf of the economically poor, the socially deprived, and the educationally disadvantaged is commonplace; where each of us finds the challenge, encouragement, and support we need to reach his or her individual potential for excellence; where we help one another and work together with enthusiasm and generosity, attempting to model concretely in word in action the ideals we uphold for our students and ourselves.
