Second Century Campaign
The Arts Take Center Stage
Since the first Jesuit school opened nearly five centuries ago, the Jesuits have understood that the arts play an important role in the enrichment of the human spirit and the development of creative thinkers with the potential to transform society in positive ways.
Loyola Academy has carried this time-honored Jesuit tradition into the 21st century with a comprehensive program of study in three performing arts disciplines: dance, music and theater. Grounded in the Jesuit mission of educating the whole person—mind, body and spirit—this distinctive program has nurtured the talents of generations of Ramblers and provided opportunities for all students to develop an appreciation of the performing arts, regardless of their creative abilities and aspirations.
Loyola graduates with a passion for the performing arts have gone on to pursue successful careers in a wide variety of creative disciplines— from music and dance to theater, television and film. Today, many of these talented alumni light up stages and screens around the world and enrich our lives through their contributions as actors, comedians, directors, screenwriters, dancers, choreographers, composers, singers, songwriters, jazz artists, symphonic musicians and more.
Now we are taking the performing arts at Loyola Academy to the next level through the Second Century Campaign Theater Initiative.
By generating support for a state-of-the- art theater and expanded performing arts programming, this critically important fundraising initiative will give Ramblers of all artistic abilities a place where they can engage in creative expression and exploration; learn transferable skills such as a willingness to “think outside the box” or look at problems from different perspectives; and develop their God-given talents as they gain an appreciation of the performing arts.
With Campus Master Plan Phase One construction on our new pool and piazza well underway, fundraising for the Theater Initiative is now taking center stage. Stay tuned for more news about this exciting capital enhancement project in the weeks and months to come.
