History

Loyola Academy was founded as a Roman Catholic, college preparatory school for young men in 1909. The school was originally located in Rogers Park, Chicago on the campus of Loyola University's Dumbach Hall; it moved to the current Wilmette campus in 1957. Both Loyola University and its prep school adjunct, Loyola Academy, were named after the Basque intellectual and Spanish Army General, Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Year 1909 (MCMIX) was a common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Thursday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...

Year 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1957 Gregorian calendar). ...


As a precondition to granting approval to move to the suburbs, the Archdiocese of Chicago required the Jesuits to stipulate that they would continue to serve the young Roman Catholic men of the city of Chicago. Consequently, throughout most of its history as a college preparatory school exclusively for young men, Loyola Academy had a significant representation of Chicago residents, many of whom were of modest financial means and gave the school an economic diversity unique in the Chicago metropolitan area and not seen today. During the period 1936 to 1994, all prospective students were admitted on the basis of a competitive and comprehensive admissions test. Loyola Academy was one of the first Roman Catholic prep schools in the nation to institute this requirement.


During the bulk of its history, as an exclusive prep school for young men, Loyola Academy maintained the strict disciplinary and academic regimen seen in most exclusive American prep schools. Under the strict disciplinary guidelines of the Jesuits, students were required to wear Academy blazers and ties, maintain silence when moving between classes, attend weekly Mass on campus, address their professors as either "sir" or "Father," and maintain a demeanor befitting the Jesuit educational ideal of "Men for others."


Penalties for infractions were meted out in the form of demerits (inscribed on a demerit card carried by each student) or by after school detention, known colloquially as "JUG," for judgment under God. During most of the period 1909-1975, the student body of Loyola Academy was almost 100% Roman Catholic. During this time frame, Loyola Academy surpassed all other schools in the Chicago Catholic secondary system in terms of SAT scores and percentage of student body admitted to 4-year universities.


For purposes of social interaction, during the period 1957-1994, Loyola's "sister school," was Regina Dominican High School, an all-girls Academy located less than a mile away in Wilmette. Beginning in 1970, small groups of select Regina students began commuting to Loyola to take selected advanced science and computer science classes, as these regimens were unavailable on their campus at the time. Prior to its controversial decision to go co-educational, Loyola had a significant Jesuit presence among its teachers and administrators, although this had begun to slowly erode beginning in the early 1970s.


In 1994, Loyola Academy merged with Saint Louise de Marillac High School, an all-girls high school from Northfield, Illinois, which was on the verge of bankruptcy and became a co-educational school [1]. In 2003, Loyola Academy opened a new 60-acre campus in Glenview, Illinois. The property, which was part of the abandoned Great Lakes Naval Air Training Station, was an extremely valuable piece of real estate which was purchased by Loyola in 2001 and now houses several athletic fields for lacrosse, baseball, softball, and soccer, a cross country path, and a wetland preserve area that has been used as a natural laboratory for science classes. Year 1994 (MCMXCIV) The year 1994 was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by the United Nations. ...

Academics at Loyola Academy

Loyola Academy offers a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum with over 110 courses in language arts, fine arts (dance, music, theater, visual arts, and architecture), foreign languages (Spanish, French, German, Latin, Mandarin Chinese and Ancient Greek), mathematics, physical education, science, social studies, and theology. (As it is a college-preparatory high school, it does not offer any true vocational courses.) The school has two competitive honors programs (the Dumbach Scholars and the Clavius Scholars), and a plethora of students enrolled in AP classes. Loyola also offers the O'Shaughnessy Program, which assists students who show the potential for success in college but may require smaller classes and extra help from teachers. Annually, about 99% of students are accepted by four-year universities. In the history of education, the seven liberal arts comprise two groups of studies, the trivium and the quadrivium. ...

Service at Loyola Academy

Loyola places a particularly strong emphasis on community service, encouraging their students to be "Women and Men for Others, Leaders in Service." During the summer, many students join service sites across the United States and around the world, and during the school year, Loyola's "Life! Be In It!" program allows students to in participate in Amnesty International, Habitat for Humanity, and various other community outreach programs. One of Loyola's stated objectives is that every graduate be "committed to doing justice," and thus it encourages students to contribute to their communities and learn more about the world around them. These service programs are complemented by a series of religious retreats. Community service refers to service that a person performs for the benefit of his or her local community. ...

Racism controversy

On September 28, 2007, the local Fox affiliate, WFLD, reported that a 15-year-old African American student was protesting Loyola's decision to expel him earlier that month. The boy said that Loyola had charged him with underage drinking at a party in Park Ridge, Illinois, even though he did not consume any alcohol. He added that his white friends, who were drinking, received counseling instead of expulsion. His family accused the school of racism and threatened to file a lawsuit. They also suggested that Loyola was instructing other high schools to deny their son admission.[1] is the 271st day of the year (272nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On October 3, 2007, the Chicago Sun-Times explained that the boy was actually expelled for taking and displaying topless pictures of a white female student from the party. His family still claimed that race was a factor in the expulsion, contending that the photograph was taken with the girls' consent and that the other people present for the picture-taking should have also been expelled. "They just jumped the gun to keep up their North Shore image. [Our son] was wrong, but not expulsion wrong," said his father.

Loyola defended their decision to expel the boy, explaining in a statement, "Loyola Academy bases its disciplinary measures upon the extent of misconduct and not on any other factor, including race." The school said that the other individuals present for the picture taking were disciplined "commensurate with their offenses."[3] Loyola and the family of the girl argued that the photograph was not taken with the girls' consent, although they did not elaborate in the press. An attorney for the girl's family said, "She's a victim in this situation. An extended discussion of this incident will just continue that victimization." A spokesman for the Park Ridge Police Department noted that they had received a complaint of sexual assault from the girls' parents, but the parents dropped the complaint "in light of the consequences doled out at the high school."
