De Smet Jesuit specializes in forming men for others.

Catholic Jesuit
We commit to modeling and teaching the beliefs and practices of our Catholic faith and our Jesuit spiritual tradition in a manner that is meaningful and accessible.
Men For Others
Real world experiences with opportunities to participate in alumni mentor and shadow program, Ignatian Global Scholars, mock trial, and many others grounded in the call to grow as men for others.
Our mission is to be men for others and have fun doing it together. De Smet Jesuit has prepared me to succeed in challenging classes, compete as an athlete, and volunteer in my community and around the world.
De Smet Jesuit gives our boys a framework in which to explore their academic, social, and spiritual lives in a supportive, loving environment. We nurture our students’ minds, hearts and souls.
De Smet felt at home when I came in as a freshman. I enjoy the balance between academic time and sports and activities. We make time to learn, but we have our study halls and activity periods to balance everything out.
As a parent of five Spartans, I cannot speak highly enough of De Smet Jesuit and the formation of young men. Our sons each had unique experiences that could have only taken place in a community such as De Smet Jesuit, where each young man is encouraged.
At a Catholic high school we rehearse the attitudes and actions that mark our lives as Christians. And when we get to do this noble work at a place like De Smet Jesuit, we begin to discover that following Jesus can be quite fun!
My wife and I both attended public school, and so did our son Graham through 8th grade. For high school, he was looking for rigorous academics, sports, and a community that prioritized service over self, with teachers who were involved and caring. We found all of that and more at De Smet. Graham is engaged at school, excited about his classes, loves playing lacrosse, and is developing into the leader we always knew he would become.
I knew that I belonged at De Smet when I shadowed and saw the tight brotherhood and community that was present here.
Every one of us is on a different journey in our faith and relationship with God. De Smet Jesuit acknowledges these differences with faculty, staff, and students.
We have a special learning community at De Smet Jesuit in that we do not look at students as a number or a body that fills a classroom seat. We recognize the whole person of the student.
I chose De Smet because of the unique brotherhood and the opportunity to develop special relationships with classmates and teachers.
Care For The Whole Person
Every student's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development is cultivated both in and outside the classroom during his high school experience.
