Saint Xavier High School is a private, Catholic high school in Louisville, Kentucky. Serving young men in grades 9-12, Saint Xavier has established itself as a premier academic and athletic power in the region. Located on 54 acres in the heart of Louisville.
Saint Xavier High School, a Catholic college preparatory school sponsored by the Xaverian Brothers since 1864, engages young men in rigorous academic programs and extracurricular activities that foster respect, honor and service to God’s world.
Saint Xavier High School, faithful to its Xaverian heritage, strives to build a Catholic community of faith that calls young men to embrace Gospel values and prepares them to share in the life of God through lives of generous service to the world. We seek to develop the gifts and talents of each student through holistic efforts based in rigorous academics, the arts, competitive athletics, intramurals, extracurricular activities and vibrant campus ministry programs.
As a college preparatory school, St. X admits students of diverse faiths and abilities who demonstrate potential for completing our four-year, liberal arts and sciences curriculum and who desire a Catholic education. Our programs of study challenge students to grow intellectually and to think critically, welcoming students with different learning styles and mild learning differences. Exceptional instruction, guidance and coaching build enduring relationships while helping students to develop leadership skills, self-discipline and the attitudes essential for higher educational success and for becoming confident, capable and responsible stewards in a global society.
Every Saint Xavier experience attempts to help each student to gain an understanding of Christian life from the Roman Catholic perspective and to be prepared for a college program or to enter the workplace. Saint Xavier offers three challenging programs of study and makes every effort to personalize the program to meet an individual student's needs. Student placement in the Honors, Academic or Excel program is determined by entrance/placement test scores, previous grades and teacher recommendation. A student's schedule may reflect courses at different levels as appropriate to his achievement and talent in the discipline.
The Honors Program is a rigorous curriculum that challenges academically talented and highly motivated students to focus on quality, efficiency, accuracy, and dedication to scholarship. This program prepares its students for the academic demands certain to be encountered in the most selective colleges. While moving at a rapid pace for maximum growth, the Honors Program also allows its students the opportunity to gain college credit through the College Board's Advanced Placement Program.
Our most heavily populated program of study, the Academic Program is a college preparatory curriculum that will both challenge and reward its students. Building on a sound foundation of knowledge, this program will contribute to the student's successful start toward a college career. Students in the Academic program have the opportunity to participate in some courses where college credit can be earned.
Emphasizing core subject areas such as reading, mathematics, and basic writing, the Excel Program is an academic regimen designed for the student who exhibits a need for individualized instruction or skill building in the core subjects. This program provides guidance through the Learning Differences Coordinator, allowing each student to achieve his maximum potential with the assistance of individual attention. The Excel Program is a unique and wholesome learning environment dedicated to the success of each student. Smaller class sizes, remediation, and personal instruction allow the program's students to achieve their academic goals.
In order to meet our goal of educating the whole person, Saint Xavier makes a variety of extracurricular activities available to its students. Students are encouraged to explore and participate in one or more activities, outside of regular classroom studies, in order to develop and enhance their individual talents.
