Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola

What Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola does

Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola is a private, non-profit Jesuit secondary school serving male students in grades 7-12, located on a 27-acre campus in the Santa María urbanization of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The school operates within the USA Central and Southern Province (UCS) of the Society of Jesus and is the only Jesuit school for boys in Puerto Rico, drawing on 165+ years of Jesuit educational tradition on the island. It serves approximately 540-600 students across six grade levels with a 10:1 student-teacher ratio and a faculty in which 70% hold a Master's or Doctorate. Core academics include 26 AP courses, a dual-language track, and a college counseling program that delivers 100% university placement, with Class 2026 graduates admitted to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, Georgetown, Boston College, Notre Dame, and other selective institutions.

The product surface extends well beyond the core secondary program and includes the SSL (Spanish as a Second Language) program for English-speaking families, the PAC (Programa de Aprendizaje Concurrente) for high-capacity students from other schools, supervised after-school studies, summer immersion and athletic programs, the Ignatian Global Scholars recognition track, the PEPED gifted enrichment program, athletics across 30+ teams, and 40+ clubs. The technology stack is third-party rather than proprietary, anchored by PlusPortals (SIS with mobile app), Microsoft 365, Naviance (college counseling), FACTS Tuition Management, WebAssign, Zoom, and the Arrupe Virtual Learning Institute for AP/elective breadth; an in-house Innovation Center supports robotics, engineering, and computer science. Revenue is driven primarily by recurring tuition and fees (not publicly disclosed), with supplementary streams from summer programs, supervised studies ($600/semester), the La Guarida del León student-run store, and a multi-channel fundraising operation (Support CSI, Festival Ignaciano, Golf Tournament, Ignatian Circle planned giving, Act 60 donor channel). Admissions is a direct-to-family, on-campus process managed by a Director of Admissions and Marketing, with application, interview, admission testing, and early admission testing for the following academic year.
