Founded in 2006, Xavier College Preparatory is a Catholic Jesuit, four-year –private secondary school. 2009-2010 boasted our first senior class with 60 graduates.
Our current student population for 2015-2016 is 565. Xavier serves a diverse group of students and several first-generation college students from all cities in the Coachella Valley.
The school is located in the Palm Desert/Palm Springs resort area of Southern California on a beautiful 96-acre campus, which includes modern facilities including athletic fields, gymnasium, art, dance and music studios.
When the people of the Coachella Valley made known the need for a faith-based educational alternative, the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) entered into the conversation and subsequent journey to build a school in the Jesuit tradition. Without enough Jesuit priests to teach at the 28 universities, 48 secondary schools, and to reach the 220,000 students at these schools, the California Province embraced Xavier and its mission. Xavier is the first lay-built, Jesuit-endorsed high school of its kind and is associated with the six other Jesuit high schools in the California Province.
One of the hallmarks of a Jesuit education is the desire to do all for the “Greater Glory of God,” “Ad Majorem dei gloriam” and as seen on Xavier’s campus: A. M. D. G. Xavier serves God’s purposes of leading students, of whatever religious persuasion, to preserve the dignity of all persons. Those who attend Xavier have the opportunity to experience God in a place that respects religious difference and promotes dialogue. While Xavier is a community of individuals who come together on a regular basis to celebrate a “common faith,” students are also encouraged to participate actively in the life of their local faith communities.
We participate together in Christ’s mission in the world and we do so in various faith traditions, but in a shared understanding of the redeeming mission of Jesus and each student’s developing conscience.

Xavier College Preparatory is a Roman Catholic high school that actively seeks, educates, and nurtures young men and women from a wide variety of ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious backgrounds in the Coachella Valley. In the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, Jesuit education is committed to the development of the whole person through a challenging educational experience, spiritual and religious formation, and co-curricular involvement. Supporting the role of parents as primary educators, our entire school program is dedicated to developing conscientious leaders and agents of change who are intellectually competent, open to growth, committed to justice, and religious and compassionate in service to others for the greater glory of God.
