Apply to Xavier

Xavier's mission calls us to educate intelligent, motivated young men of diverse backgrounds and means.

For 177 years, students have traveled from the farthest reaches of New York City and its surrounding suburbs to be transformed by a Jesuit education on 16th Street, and we are delighted that you are considering such an opportunity now.

For more information about our application process, please email admissions@xavierhs.org or call (212) 924-7900, ext. 1442.

Xavier’s commitment to the human dignity and rights of each of its students is of paramount importance in formulating the educational policies that govern its community. It is with these rights in mind that Xavier High School admits students of any race, religion, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, scholarships, and activities accorded or made available to students at the school. Xavier adheres to this commitment throughout the student’s tenure at Xavier by providing and administering educational policies and cocurricular school-sponsored programs that do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, or national or ethnic origin.
