“I chose Loyola's School of Education for the personalized support from my instructors. They always consider my busy work and my family life, and they established an open line of communication. ”

“As human beings we are all very nuanced, and having an education system that only considers the mental and academic aspects of students is negligible; it isn’t profound. The fact that cura personalis is a core tenant of the Loyola School of Education really resonated with me.”

“What’s different about a Loyola education is we truly value the idea of cura personalis for our students—and for their future students. This is not simply a degree to be purchased, but intellectual engagement, which lingers in the hearts and minds of the learners.”
