School Notes Overview:

Cheverus High School is a private, Catholic college preparatory school sponsored by the Society of Jesus. The school exists to educate the students of Maine according to the 460-year-old Jesuit tradition of excellence in education. The purposes and objectives of the school find their inspiration in the insights of the founder of the Jesuits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The Ignatian vision of the “magis” challenges the entire Cheverus community to seek the “greater good” and to embody this vision by becoming men and women for others. Cheverus High School strives to develop the potential of each student, preparing the young person for further education. The faculty structures each course according to disciplined, rigorous standards, requiring serious effort from each student. To challenge gifted students, Cheverus maintains both advanced placement and honors sections in most academic disciplines. For the student of demonstrated need, the school provides study skill development through courses in fundamental college preparatory skills. Cheverus encourages achievement by all its students through a variety of incentives and honors. ...read more
