Challenging Students to Think Critically, Lead Courageously, and Transform the World as Men For Others
For more than two centuries, St. Louis University High School (SLUH) has provided a premier education to young men from all walks of life. From the moment each student steps foot in SLUH to the moment he confidently strides across the Stifel Theatre stage to accept his diploma, everything is designed to ensure that he graduates as an intellectually inspired, open-to-growth, and faith-driven Man for Others.
Each SLUH student benefits from need-blind admissions, status-blind friendships, and a rich diversity of cultures and perspectives. Thanks to $4.9 million in direct financial aid, SLUH welcomes students from 185 grade schools and 91 ZIP codes. Extensive co-curriculars—including more than 150 teams, clubs, and organizations—offer each student many opportunities.
These well-rounded students with exceptional God-given abilities are capable of achieving extraordinary things. Dedicated SLUH faculty helps students maximize their potential through a robust academic program with more than 100 electives, Advanced Placement courses in 20 disciplines, and 1-8-1-8 courses for SLU credit. SLUH has been recognized as a U.S. National Blue Ribbon School, U.S. Green Ribbon School, USA Today Top STEM School in America, and St. Louis Post-Dispatch STL Headliner Award for Best Private High School.
Infused with the timeless philosophy of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, SLUH remains dedicated to the Jesuit motto Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam—”for the greater glory of God.” The school instillsa desire to pursue excellence in all things—an active, aspirational ideal that goes beyond academics and one that has driven and differentiated SLUH for more than 200 years.
