University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy, Jesuit school
The University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy is a Catholic school for boys founded and run by a religious community. The main campus sits on South Cambridge Avenue and Seven Mile, while a second location called The PARC occupies a recreation center nearby.
Founded by Jesuits in 1877, the school has remained in Detroit for more than 140 years. The campus displays a mix of historic buildings and modern facilities that reflect growth and change through the decades.
The school carries forward Ignatian traditions that blend faith with service to others and the community. Students and teachers practice these values daily through reflection, shared prayer, and projects that help people in need.
The school accepts students from 7th through 12th grade, with around 750 boys from various backgrounds. Visitors should know there are two separate locations, both serving the school's operations.
The school has a chapel that was once used as a library before being restored to its spiritual purpose. This transformation shows how the institution adapted its spaces to changing needs while keeping its core mission alive.
