The rigorous, four-year, technology-enhanced curriculum is tailored to achieve this result while simultaneously instilling intellectual curiosity and a worldview in keeping with the Jesuit tradition.

GLOBAL EDUCATION
St. Ignatius envisioned the world as a place where Christ loved and served—and, therefore, as a place of grace, a place of being able to give life to others. SLUH embraces a global education model that illuminates the vision of Ignatius. Not just because a globally conscious education is vital to succeed in a world distinguished by interdependence, diversity and rapid change. But because it provides the knowledge and understanding of culture, language, geography and global perspectives needed to carry out our mission of building Christ’s kingdom.
