Current Professional Development Schools for Loyola University Maryland

“Loyola’s core values—educating the whole person, service, leadership, justice, integrity, diversity (just to name a few!)—have allowed me to create purpose and meaning in my life. I was able to take profound personal self-inventory to become clear on where I was stuck and how to move forward with confidence, compassion, and creativity.”

“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.”

“The values of the Jesuits when it comes to education shapes Loyola’s program. It was a big influence on teaching candidates to respond to the individual student, to be driven by their needs.”

“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.”
