Why De Smet? It was just a feeling I got when I shadowed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the guys who were around, and the teachers seemed to make class interesting and got students to participate.

De Smet Jesuit inspires and prepares men for and with others to transform the world ad majorem Dei gloriam (for the greater glory of God).
Why De Smet? It was just a feeling I got when I shadowed. Everyone seemed to enjoy the guys who were around, and the teachers seemed to make class interesting and got students to participate.
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.
I knew that I belonged at De Smet when I shadowed and saw the tight brotherhood and community that was present here.
Our two boys are extremely opposite in their education, in their athletics, in their activities, and in their styles of learning.
We really found that De Smet Jesuit is a home that fits for both of them.
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.
