For Loyola Academy Students and Parents

If you are a student, parent, or caregiver who believes that a Loyola Academy student has been the victim of inappropriate behavior by an adult at Loyola Academy, please contact the Associate Principal for Student Success, the Dean of Students, or any Loyola Academy administrator you trust. Additionally, you may report this to Illinois Department of Children and Family Services or the Wilmette Police Department.

All complaints reported to Loyola Academy are promptly investigated by the Dean of Students or the Associate Principal for Student Success. The investigation is handled with care, ensuring the privacy of those involved during the initial inquiry.

If the complaint involves physical contact of a sexual nature or physical abuse by an adult at Loyola Academy, the Academy is required to report the matter to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Wilmette Police Department for further investigation. Loyola Academy also informs the Chair of the Board of Trustees, who coordinates with the investigation and determines the appropriate response and consequences. If the complaint is found to be credible after the preliminary investigation, the adult involved will be placed on leave.

If the abuse involves a member of the clergy, in addition to notifying civil authorities, you may also follow the reporting guidelines set forth by the Archdiocese of Chicago. Please note that reporting to the Archdiocese is not a substitute for notifying law enforcement authorities.
