Info
Xavier High School is an independent Jesuit university-preparatory high school for young men located at 30 West 16th Street, in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was founded in 1847, as the College of St. Francis Xavier (also known as St. Francis Xavier College) by Father John Larkin, S.J.The school draws students from all five boroughs of New York City, as well as New Jersey, Connecticut, Nassau County, Suffolk County, Westchester County, Rockland County, and Orange County.
Xavier is joined by Regis High School, Fordham Preparatory School, Loyola School, and St. Peter's Preparatory School as the five Jesuit high schools in the New York City metropolitan area; a sixth, Brooklyn Preparatory School, closed in 1972.
Xavier has maintained its Jesuit and academic traditions despite significant changes during its history. Xavier challenges students to think critically and to become "men for others." Though tuition has risen in recent years, a substantial percentage of the cost for each student's education is covered by donations from alumni.
