PURPOSE: The Jesuit Academy commitment to students extends well beyond their middle school years. Our Graduate Support Program (GSP) provides graduates with ongoing, scaffolded support through high school, college, and into meaningful employment. With a focus on readiness, awareness, advocacy, and community, the GSP walks with graduates on the journey to manhood, one step at a time. 

STAFF SUPPORT: Two full time staff members are dedicated to working with graduates wherever they are - within the walls of Jesuit Academy, on their high school and college campuses, and out in the community. Staff maintain regular contact with graduates through individual meetings, in small and large group settings, and via other targeted outreach. 
​
SERVICES AND RESOURCES: The GSP prepares students for success with services and programming in four primary areas: Early College & Career Awareness, High School Transition & Support, Post-Secondary Admission & Completion, and Career Engagement. Services for graduates and families include:

  • Early College & Career Awareness activities for 4th-6th grade students
  • Life Skills, College, & Career activities for 7th & 8th grade students
  • College visits, campus tours, and career days
  • Coordination of academic support
  • College Admission support – applications, financial aid, scholarships, etc.
  • Preparation for college entrance exams (ACT/SAT)
  • HS Summer employment opportunities
  • College Internship program
  • Social events, including the annual Alumni Reunion​​​
