Two sons graduated from St. X. One is now a CFO at Microsoft and the other is a CFP, Investment Advisor at JP Morgan. First son matriculated from Washington University in Saint Louis and then obtained his MBA at the Darden Graduate School of Business at UVA. Younger son obtained his BA at Miami University (Ohio). Both were challenged at St. X and have done well since graduating.

I'm a mixed race (Black/white) & I am a founding member of the very first Black student Union in the history of the school. I'm really proud of that. St. X is really trying to be open to including african american students and that means a lot. St. X provides opportunities I would not have otherwise been given. I'm grateful to be there. The sports programs, clubs, campus feels like college campus. It's well worth the financial sacrifice to go there.

The reception was great, and I liked the teaching methodologies and club activities. I won't want to change anything.

My son graduated from St. Xavier and is now having great success in college due to the preparation and rigorous academic coursework he had from four years at St. Xavier.

We moved to Louisville so our son could attend St.X. The best decision ever! If you are looking for excellence in education, as well as character development, you won't be disappointed! Outstanding faculty, counselors and administration who always go the extra mile for all the boys.
