Jesuit Education

Having sent 3 boys to Creighton Prep in Omaha, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. So glad someone finally recognized this education for the "WONDER" it is !!!!For our boys the Freshman Retreat was life-changing.. both as Freshmen and as Leaders of it later.

A great read for anyone associated with Jesuit education

This book is great for all of those who have been associated with Jesuit education. It demonstrates how Ignatian spirituality is a vital aspect of Jesuit education and the success that Jesuit schools have had. If you are looking at working at a Jesuit school, or if you are currently working at the school, this is a great read.
