Virtual Tour“I can’t overestimate the community aspect of Loyola School,” says Mathew Cullen ’07. “The students, faculty, and administration are all incredibly close. After four years together in this smaller environment, I literally feel as though my classmates are my brothers and sisters. And I’ve been inspired by the great leadership of my peers and teachers alike.”
Elizabeth Petitti ’09 notes that “small classes mean that there are no ‘cliques’ in school, and through peer leadership, I’ve gotten to know many of the upper classmen very quickly. And because each class size is small, developing relationships is extremely natural, and they often evolve into great friendships.”
“I felt as close to my teachers and coaches as I did to my classmates,” Isaac Cohen ’98 says. “My teachers, the administrators, the seniors when I was a freshman on the basketball team—all of them genuinely cared about what was going on in my life and supported me inside and outside of the classroom.”
Laura Armstrong ’94 says that her alma mater was there to support her after her brother Mike was killed on Sept. 11 in the World Trade Center. “The Loyola School community was phenomenal,” Laura recalls. “Mike was very close to Father [Eugene] Prior, and on Sept. 12, he called me and helped me begin the grieving process. Everyone from Loyola was there to support us. We are just like a family; we look out for each other.”
