Why be good when you can be ELITE!

At Verbum Dei Jesuit, excellence extends beyond the classroom and onto the field, court, and track. For more than 60 years, we have formed young men who compete with discipline, integrity, and heart — student-athletes who understand that true greatness is measured not only by wins, but by character.

Our athletic program is rooted in Jesuit values and built to develop the whole person. Coaches serve as mentors. Teammates become brothers. From football and basketball to soccer, baseball, track, and more, Verbum Dei athletes train with purpose and represent something bigger than themselves. We emphasize strength, skill development, teamwork, and resilience — preparing our young men to compete at a high level while maintaining academic excellence.

What sets Verbum Dei apart is the balance we offer. As the only high school in Los Angeles providing a four-year integrated academic and corporate work study experience, our student-athletes graduate prepared for college, careers, and life. With a 100% college acceptance rate and dedicated alumni support, we make a long-term commitment to every Eagle — ensuring they succeed not just in competition, but well beyond it.

At Verbum Dei Jesuit, you don’t just play for a team.
You become part of a brotherhood — and you rise together.
