We have just transferred back so that my son can attend this school. He went to Gonzaga Preparatory High School in Spokane, WA for his freshman year and had a great year but he favors this school. He is enrolled in summer session and feels like he is back home with most of his elementary school friends. It is truly a great school. We are also so impressed by the colleges the first graduating class was accepted to!
For the greater glory of God we are all called to serve. Xavier and the St. Ignatius teachings are about the 5 core values: openness to growth, a commitment to social justice, kindness and a loving compassion for others, religiouis and faithfulness to God and an intellectual competence. Our son is a sophomore this year and we have seen tremendous growth in him and his friends. Xavier is truly a home away from home. Not only do we see the students make it their home, we see that faculty, teachers and parents have made it theirs as well. There is a great sense of comfort knowing that our children are getting the best education there is out there to prepare them for college. Through discussions with other parents, we all our in accordance that there is no other school like this in our valley. The community events we hold are unbelievable and are done with true professionalism. We are all men and women for others! Go Saints!!!
Xavier is so fun, awesome, and great. The teachers are really cool and everyone knows each other.
Xavier is a great big family!!! Everyone is very friendly we all support one another and the Teachers & Staff are wonderfull and very helpfull. My son is very happy to attend this school he is very involve and he enjoys it (even though is a lot for a 15 yr. old.)

I am really impressed by the level of parent involvement.
It is doing a great job in broading the interests of the children and educating them. It has high standards and encourages the students to live up to their potential.
Xavier is pretty cool because it is like a community where everybody knows everybody and they all interact with each other.
