How does the Jesuit advantage make Santa Clara different?
Ignatius of Loyola, the Basque courtier turned priest who founded the Society of Jesus in 1540, wrote that “love ought to manifest itself more by deeds than by words.” Santa Clara actively urges students to consider “what should be,” especially in the context of the poor, powerless, or those who suffer from discrimination in the world. Our curriculum, extracurricular options, and Centers of Distinction all support this commitment.
