What are Loyola’s academic expectations?

In the school’s Mission Statement, Loyola is described as a “university preparatory school”. This means that Loyola is committed to academic excellence and provides courses and programs of the highest quality. Students are expected to perform at a high level, to work hard and to complete homework and assignments as required. They must develop a strong work ethic and be self-motivated. As they progress through their five years at Loyola, they are required to develop personal work and study habits that will permit them to become independent learners that, in turn, will help them to be successful at the college and university levels. Students who are unmotivated, who do not complete homework or assignments, who expend minimal effort on their courses and who do not achieve to their full potential academically will be asked to leave Loyola.
