Mission: The Washington Jesuit Academy, a Catholic school formed under the auspices of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and operated according to Jesuit educational principles, educates in grades 6-8 academically talented adolescent boys from low-income families regardless of religious denomination, providing for them a disciplined, rigorous learning environment. The goal of the education is to prepare these boys to become "men for others" who, having gained confidence spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and physically, will be able to succeed in a college preparatory high school on their way to becoming leaders in their communities.
