Promoting Active Living


The connection between human experience and the natural world inspires many of our students to serve as stewards for both planetary and personal health. Zags exemplify this commitment to the well-being of all, for present and future generations.

What You'll Learn

The Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, "care for the whole person," comes to life in an education that helps you create a productive, purposeful, and active life in a healthy world.
