Preparing young men to be GREAT men!
A faith-based elementary school for boys in grades 3 through 8.
Welcome to Xavier Jesuit Academy
Xavier Jesuit Academy guides the trajectory of young men’s lives through education.
On August 14, 2024, the doors of XJA opened for the first time to provide young men in Bond Hill and nearby neighborhoods with a challenging and disciplined approach to education rooted in the Jesuit tradition.
- A scholarship-funded, faith-based education for young men in grades 3-8.
- An environment of brotherhood with high academic standards.
- A Jesuit Catholic education experience that develops and honors the culture and dignity of the whole person: body, mind and spirit.
"To me, being Open to Growth means being willing to try new things you have never tried before. It is also an eagerness to learn and not getting discouraged when things don't come naturally. Being Open to Growth is about accepting corrections or guidance with a smile on your face, even though that is not always easy."
Jaxon, 6th Grade
"The structure here, the exposure that they get, the religious instruction along with academics. This is a school like no other. I'm really proud that it's here in Bond Hill, and I tell everybody: if you've got a son in third through seventh grade, you need to be looking into what XJA offers."
Shahidah Akbar, XJA parent and volunteer
