Loyola High School (Montreal)
Loyola High School is a private Catholic school for boys in grades 7–11 located in Montreal (Quebec, Canada). The School was established in 1896 by the Society of Jesus as part of Loyola College, at the request of the English Catholic community in Montreal. It is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola who founded the Jesuit Order in 1534.
In Loyola's Mission Statement, the School is described as providing a university-preparatory program consisting of a rigorous and comprehensive educational experience intertwined with spiritual and religious formation, and extra-curricular involvement to deserving students.
An important feature of the School is its practice that no student attending Loyola should be deprived of the opportunity to get the full "Loyola experience" because of an inability to pay. This has fostered a diverse student body which has contributed to the School's strong sense of community and public service.

Famous quotes containing the words loyola, high and/or school:
“We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchic Church defines it thus.”
—Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)
“There, do not start,
child, nor toss about;
only calm and high pride
can help your hurt:
fate tries all alike.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
