As a private, Jesuit, Catholic school for boys, grades 7-12, BC High students graduate with so much more than a diploma. You’ll leave with lifelong friendships, a deeper connection to your faith, a strong commitment to service, and a deep passion for knowledge that will guide you throughout your college years and beyond.

The BC High experience instills values of grace, kindness, integrity, and equips students with all the tools needed for success. BC High develops key characteristics and qualities that reflect the tradition and ideals of a Jesuit education, no matter your background or future goals.

The student experience at BC High is rooted in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, emphasizing development of the head, heart, and hands. Through a rigorous academic curriculum paired with contemporary learning models, students are challenged to think critically, engage deeply, and pursue intellectual excellence. The house system fosters a close-knit, supportive environment where every student is known, valued, and cared for. This structure is complemented by robust school and college counseling services, which guide students to achieve exceptional post-secondary outcomes. BC High's Centers of Human Excellence and focus on health and wellness provide spaces for students to explore their passions, develop resilience, and grow as well-rounded individuals prepared to make a meaningful impact on the world.
