Introduction to the Ignatian Identity

BC High proudly embraces its identity as a Jesuit, Catholic school that fosters an inclusive and mission-driven education for middle and high school students. Central to this mission is the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm, a framework that guides the holistic development of our students through five key pillars:

  1. Context
  2. Experience
  3. Reflection
  4. Action
  5. Evaluation

Reviewing the Five Pillars of Jesuit Education

How We Integrate the Jesuit Spirit into BC High

  1. Retreat opportunities are available at every grade level, allowing students space to reflect, connect, and grow in faith.
  2. The presence of the Jesuit community on Morrissey Boulevard ensures that Ignatian values are lived daily, not just taught.
  3. BC High’s identity is further affirmed through its Jesuit sponsorship, connecting it to a global network of Jesuit institutions and traditions.
