The inclusive education program is a powerful extension of De Smet’s Catholic, Jesuit mission—fostering a school community where every young man belongs, grows, and thrives.

Grounded in our Ignatian tradition, we embrace the diversity of each student’s gifts and provide an environment that supports academic excellence, faith formation, and personal growth.

Through intentional inclusion, peer connection, and a shared commitment to being Men for Others, we prepare students to lead with empathy, serve with purpose, and make a difference in the world. This mission is woven into all we do—from our faith and service opportunities, to our robust student support services, to an admissions process that welcomes students from across the St. Louis region and beyond.
