O'Shaughnessy Program

The O’Shaughnessy Program serves freshman and sophomore students who would benefit from improving literacy and learning skills in order to succeed in a college preparatory environment. Admission to the program is based on entrance exam scores, junior high standardized test scores, junior high academic performance and/or psycho-educational testing. Incoming freshmen who are admitted into the O'Shaughnessy Program are required to successfully complete a summer school course in literacy and learning prior to freshman year. Depending on test scores, some incoming freshmen may also be required to complete Algebra 1 during the summer.

How it began

Loyola Academy's tradition of providing academic support to ensure a successful college preparatory journey for every Rambler began more than four decades ago with the establishment of the O'Shaughnessy Program (OSH). Launched in 1973 with a generous gift from Loyola benefactor Eileen O'Shaughnessy, the O'Shaughnessy Program has expanded and evolved to meet the diverse learning needs of Ramblers in the 21st century.
