Formation, Friendship, and Jesuit Spirituality for High School Students

High school students are seeking meaning, their place in the world, and how to make an impact.

Ever to Excel invites these students to spend a week at Boston College, a premier Jesuit, Catholic university, with a new community of friends from all around the world who are asking these same questions.

Built on the foundation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the week's activities, group discussions, and keynote speakers will guide the participants in deepening their faith, discovering their gifts, and gaining valuable tools for personal discernment.

Ever to Excel is a one-of-a-kind transformative opportunity for high school students.
