Purpose
Educate young men in the Jesuit tradition by providing Maryland's premier learning experience for boys in grades 6-12.
Vision
We inspire and challenge students in ways that go beyond most college preparatory environments. Our Dons develop knowledge for sure. But they also develop values, spiritual growth, responsibility for others and a lifelong love for learning - the core that really prepares them to transform into active members of the global community. In the words of St. Ignatius to St. Xavier they “Go forth and set the world on fire.”

Values
- Cura Personalis
- Latin for "Care for the whole person," cura personalis was a call for the kind of care Jesuit superiors were to give to their subordinates, a call to care for the entire person—the entire gift of life from God given to us. Loyola Blakefield educators know and respect each student for the unique mind and heart that he is. The core of our philosophy is the personal concern for the individual. We talk about it, we practice it, and we teach it.
