We've embarked upon our 174th year as a school community. Our students have had access for the last four years to the state-of-the-art Fernandez-Duminuco Hall and they are taking full advantage of our robust offerings in dramatics, instrumental music, computer science, and robotics. A Jesuit education in the heart of New York City that prepares its students for the future while remaining rooted in the best practices of our Jesuit educational tradition: that’s the animating vision we have for Xavier! That vision started when Fr. John Larkin, S.J, founded the College of St. Francis Xavier in 1847 in Lower Manhattan at the corner of Waker and Elizabeth Streets. Just a few years later Fr. Larkin had the vision to relocate Xavier to its current setting just west of Union Square, in Chelsea. From its humble beginnings, Xavier has offered a rigorous, Catholic education—focused on cultivating critical thinking, spiritual development, and self-discipline—to young men drawn from all over the New York City metro area. Fr. Larkin’s vision remains very much alive at Xavier today. Here’s what our alumni often say about how Xavier kindled that vision within them. Some talk about the how much self-discipline they learned during their commutes, in the classroom, or on the field. Others speak of the intellectual risks they took and curiosity they developed in their math or Latin classes, while others discuss the athletic or artistic interests they discovered during their four high school years. Many mention the profound relationships that they developed with their teachers—passionate educators who challenged them to broaden and deepen their intellectual and spiritual horizons. Frequently, graduates speak about how they received care and support from a guidance counselor or homeroom advisor, how they experienced a spiritual “a-ha” moment on one of our student-led retreats, how they developed friendships over lunchtime conversations in our Quad or Cafeteria, or how they felt themselves becoming a “ Man for and with Others ” on one of our many service or immersion trips. Not surprisingly, regardless of how they began their answer, it frequently ends with the sentiment that—during their time on 16th Street—Xavier was their second home, a place where they were both cared for and challenged. I'd encourage you to take a look at our Xavier Magazine to learn more about what great things our current students and alumni are doing both within the walls of Xavier, throughout New York City, and across the globe. Xavier’s educational methods are rooted in the pillars of the P rofile of the Graduate at Graduation —one of the foundational documents of Jesuit education—which means that Xavier graduates become Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Loving, Religious, and Committed to Doing Justice. This is why, by the time they step out of St. Patrick’s Cathedral onto 5th Avenue, Sons of Xavier are no longer boys, but young men who have been transformed into becoming more conscientious, competent, compassionate, committed, and creative —ready to be of service to our city, our nation, and the world. Come explore with us the array of opportunities that a Xavier education offers. If you want to attend our Open House or one of our regional information sessions, please fill out our Inquiry Form .

We hope to see you incorporating your own story into life on 16th Street, walking out of St. Patrick’s Cathedral ...
