“Jesuits have a solid reputation as educators. The other students in my cohort were amazing and made the intensity of this program a shared, instead of solitary, experience of growth and learning.”

“What drew me to Loyola is its emphasis on the Jesuit value of cura personalis (care for the whole person). Only through a holistic education—one that serves mind, body, and soul—can true achievement be attained.”

“The education technology faculty at Loyola work hard to develop a sense of community in all of the courses, and this leads to great relationships between students and faculty as well as among all students in the program.”

“Being a teacher goes hand in hand with the Jesuit ideal of being a person for others. Teachers work in a service, care-based industry that helps others grow at the most malleable point in their lives. ”

Testimonials

Eboni Akpan Zook
I like the cohort experience because, throughout my program, I take classes with nearly the same group of peers with whom I started. As we are familiar with each other, we are able to dig deeper into controversial topics and take risks in sharing our thoughts and experiences as educators. Eboni Akpan Zook

I chose Loyola due to its focus on students and their whole person. Loyola’s cohort partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools, where I work, made it very convenient to take classes! The professors and internship site supervisors support and guide you through the process of becoming a school leader. Megan Herman
