About
This section needs additional citations for verification. (July 2018) |
Jesuit is a four-year, college preparatory high school conducted by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Admission is selective, through application in the 8th grade, approval by the admissions office, and an interview by a faculty member of the school. Transfer applications are accepted for the 10th and 11th grades.
Multiple sex abuse scandals have gripped the school's community throughout the years. In one case, it was discovered that [2] Father William Farrington, a swimming and diving coach, molested more than 10 male students before he was relocated to Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose without any punishment from the Catholic diocese. In another series of incidents,[3] Rev. William Feeser was accused of sexually assaulting students and supposedly went unnoticed during his 13 years at the school. More information: Sexual abuse scandal in the Society of Jesus.
Jesuit is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA). Additionally, Jesuit is a member of the College Board, the Jesuit Secondary Education Association, and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
In 2016, the Washington Post named Jesuit High one of America's most challenging private schools.[4]
