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 is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
