Accepting Applications for School Year 2025-2026
At Xavier Jesuit Academy, we strive to create more than just a school, we aim to build a home where young men can thrive academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Our partnership with OptimALL has been instrumental in fulfilling this vision since our doors opened in August 2024.
A Place Where Students Want to Be
Despite our extended school day that runs until 4:30 PM, our students embrace their time at XJA. As Principal Chandler notes, "I have not heard one kid complain about the fact that they stay here until 4:30 every day." This speaks to our commitment to engaging students beyond academics, nurturing their spiritual, emotional, and athletic development.
Understanding the Whole Person
The OptimALL program aligns perfectly with our Jesuit educational philosophy of caring for the whole person. Their approach helps our educators fully understand each student and design lessons that address the complexity of each young man.
Ensuring No Student Falls Through the Cracks
For Principal Chandler, one of the greatest benefits of this partnership is ensuring that no student is overlooked: "Having OptimALL here helps to make sure those kids don't fall between the cracks. Those kids constantly have advocates."
A True Blessing for XJA
Principal Chandler is clear about the impact: "OptimALL has been a true blessing for us. To be able to open up this school and accomplish our mission is really because OptimALL came to the table in a very meaningful way."
Their involvement spans every aspect of student support, from admissions interviews to crafting support plans and ensuring appropriate growth for each student.
"Without them," Principal Chandler concludes, "we wouldn't be where we are."
