We Are De Smet
At De Smet Jesuit, we believe an education is more than just classes and grades—it’s the foundation for a life of purpose.
Rooted in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition, we form young men in grades 6–12 to become Men for Others—leaders of character, compassion, and faith who are ready to impact their communities and the world.
Our approach is personal. Every student is known, supported, and challenged to grow in mind, body, and spirit. From our rigorous curriculum and innovative programs like Ignatian Global Studies and Entrepreneurship to our championship athletics, fine arts, and service opportunities, De Smet Jesuit offers a place to explore talents and discover passions.
What sets us apart? A brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, a faith tradition that calls each student to live for something greater, and an environment that values excellence while caring for the whole person—academically, emotionally, and spiritually.

WHY A JESUIT EDUCATION?
For nearly 500 years, Jesuit schools have shaped young men into compassionate leaders and critical thinkers. At De Smet Jesuit, we follow the Ignatian model of cura personalis—care for the whole person. Every student is known, loved, and challenged to use his gifts in service of others. De Smet Jesuit forms young men who think critically, grow in faith, and lead as Men for Others in an ever-changing world.
