Why An All-Boys School?

At University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy, our all-boys environment is more than just tradition — it’s intentional. We create a focused, supportive space where young men in grades 7-12 can be authentically themselves, pursue academic excellence, and grow into leaders formed by Jesuit values.

A Brotherhood That Lasts a Lifetime

U of D Jesuit students don’t just go to school together — they form bonds of brotherhood that last well beyond graduation. Our all-male setting fosters camaraderie, collaboration, and deep friendships rooted in mutual respect.

Tailored to How Boys Learn

  • Engaged Learning: Curriculum and teaching styles designed specifically for how boys best learn and thrive.
  • Confidence Building: Boys are more willing to take academic risks, explore interests, and lead without social pressure.
  • Role Models: Strong male mentorship from faculty, coaches, and alumni reinforces positive identity and character formation.

Forming Men for Others

In the Jesuit tradition, we are committed to forming Men for Others — young men who are intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. Our all-boys model provides the focus and formation to meet these goals fully.

Confidence, Not Conformity

Boys at U of D Jesuit are encouraged to lead, speak up, and grow in confidence. Whether in academics, sports, theater, or service — students develop a strong sense of self and purpose.
