WJA

Students at the Washington Jesuit Academy are constantly encouraged to develop strong personal values and convictions. St. Ignatius believed that students should be intellectual, compassionate, conscientious, disciplined, spiritual and responsible. This is the foundation of what we strive to lead our young men to become - "Men for Others."... Washington Jesuit Academy provides a high quality and comprehensive education to 4th - 8th grade boys from low-income D.C. Metro communities... We instill in our students the confidence to find "the more" in themselves, giving them the necessary tools of moral character and compassion. Through the principles of a WJA education, students become open to growth, academically focused, spiritual, loving, and committed to justice. We believe that every student will learn to lead a purpose-driven life as a member of their community, becoming a reflective, action-oriented citizen whose focus will be on improving the lives of those most in need.
