President's Message
Get up and go into the city and there you will be told everything that God has determined for you to do.
Acts 22:10
Welcome to Verbum Dei Jesuit High School, where every day is an opportunity for growth and transformation. Like the passage above, our students begin their mornings with a commitment to rigorous study, then venture into the city to engage in professional environments where they discover their divine purpose through hard work and perseverance.
At Verbum Dei Jesuit, we strive to be the leading college and career preparatory institution in Los Angeles. To achieve this, we constantly challenge both our students and ourselves to reach new heights of excellence. Our diverse array of opportunities for intellectual growth, skill development, and character formation empowers each student to reach their fullest potential.
Some may view our ambitious goals as out of hand, but we believe deeply in the limitless potential of our students. We know that talent is abundant, though opportunities are not. Our mission is to change this by unlocking the untapped potential within every individual. Through unconventional thinking and a willingness to challenge the status quo, we are confident that our students have the power to change the world — and they will!
Get up and go, and there you will be told everything that God has determined for you to do.
Join us at Verbum Dei Jesuit. Find your purpose. Embark on this journey as we provide each student with life-changing opportunities to make a meaningful impact within our community and beyond.
AMDG,
