De Smet Jesuit High School (St. Louis, MO) Opens Inclusion Academy

Global Identifier #1 – Jesuit Schools are committed to being Catholic and to offer in-depth faith formation in dialogue with other religions and worldviews – offers us many invitations to grow. It is a call to educate from the heart of the Church, when thinking about the future structure of our schools. It is the call to the frontiers. It is a call to be committed to providing a solid faith formation and theological education to all members of its community.

“By integrating Jesuit values into academic curriculum and extracurricular activities, institutions can nurture students who are not only academically proficient but also socially conscious and ethically grounded,” Poelker said. “Embracing this approach not only aligns with our shared Jesuit mission but also equips students with the skills and values needed to become compassionate leaders and agents of positive change in the world.”  This is the foundation upon which our Inclusion Academy was founded.
