Loyola High School

Founded in 1865, Loyola of Los Angeles is the oldest high school in Southern California. An all male, Jesuit school, Loyola places a strong emphasis on developing the character of students, or "men for others." Loyola has been ranked as having the top all-male high school athletics program in the country by ESPN rise. The "Loyola Cubs" consistently win CIF and State championships every year in a wide variety of sports. 99% of students continue to receive a higher education, with 96% attending a 4-year college or university. Loyola's outstanding network of donors allows the school to maintain a low tuition, allowing Loyola to compete academically with schools requiring double the tuition (e.g. Harvard-Westlake), as well as allowing a high percentage of the diverse community of students to attend on scholarship. While students may be deterred by the all-male aspect of the school, it is to be noted that the students at Loyola form a "cub brotherhood" which, as they say, lasts for life. Additionally, Loyola has several sister schools whose students all compete to earn a highly coveted spot in a Loyola man's heart. There is no other school in Southern California where a student will receive an athletic, academic, spiritual, and social experience, nearly equal to that received at Loyola.
