Founded in 1847, Jesuit High School is a titan among learning institutions in New Orleans. Located at 4133 Banks St., the college-preparatory school is nestled in the postcard-like setting of Mid-City's oak-tree lined streets.
Admission is considered competitive and a high percentage of graduates (nearly 100%) go on to attend four-year colleges or universities. Tuition was $10,700 for the 2022-2023 school year. Financial aid and tuition assistance are available. An application with a fee is required.
The private Catholic all-boys high school serves eighth grade through 12th grade. The school’s stated purpose is to provide structure for self-disciplined study, stimulate critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and create confidence for respectful, articulate self-expression. While academics are the school’s focus, it also recognizes that it takes more to succeed in today’s world. For that reason, Jesuit High School offers co-curriculars consisting of nearly 50 clubs and organizations designed to inspire teamwork, curiosity, and social interaction and learning. Athletics are also encouraged for a healthy mind and body. The school offers basketball, football, in-line hockey and sailing.

Jesuit has changed my life forever. I am thankful for the opportunity I have been given to attend such an amazing school. Athletics at Jesuit cannot be compared to others and I am honored to have been a part of multiple teams. The teachers really care about us and will do whatever they need to do to help us succeed.

The school is overly strict and feels like it's stuck in the past, refusing to innovate or adopt to modern times. However, Jesuit is good at achieving what a school should achieve despite refusing to modernize

I had an awful experience at Jesuit. Jesuit was a family tradition for me, and I was very excited to start, as I was a third-generation student. This school made me into a person I didn't even know anymore. I was depressed, this school was that awful. Nothing about it was good for me, I had awful/me...
