[edit] About

Jesuit High School is a four-year college preparatory conducted by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Admission is selective. The process consists of students applying during the 8th grade, having their application approved by the Office of Admissions, and then being interview by a faculty member of the school. Approximately 60% of the applicant pool is admitted each year. ^[2]

Jesuit is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA). The current term of the school's WASC accreditation is six years, which is set to expire in 2014. Additionally, Jesuit is a member of the College Board, the Jesuit Secondary Education Association and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
