Inquiry

The Jesuit Schools Network is eager to encourage a spirit of inquiry across the many layers of our work in Jesuit education. 

Inquiry

Ignatian Inquiry: A Definition

The JSN envisions our particular brand of Ignatian Inquiry to be the art of inquiry as seen through our Ignatian lens; asking questions and exploring issues that matter in our schools through the frame of our shared Jesuit mission.

Programs

Ignatian Inquiry

At the JSN, we are eager to encourage a spirit of inquiry across the many layers of our work in Jesuit education. We seek to create space to connect virtually and in person to engage in conversation and learn about the good work that is going on across our schools in North America.

About Our Virtual Ignatian Inquiry Sessions

The JSN is eager to encourage a spirit of inquiry across the many layers of our work in Jesuit education. With our Virtual Ignatian Inquiry Sessions we seek to promote content-based resources for the schools and tell the stories of our schools and the educators in them.

Academic Rigor in Jesuit Education
Jesuit Schools Network hosted our second annual Ignatian Inquiry After School Virtual Symposium, Academic Rigor in Jesuit Education, on April 17. The two-hour virtual session – moderated by Dr. Kristin Ross Cully, JSN’s Director of Inquiry and New Ventures – discussed the realities educators face in balancing the post-pandemic demands of meeting students where they are in 2023, while embracing the traditional values of a college preparatory Jesuit education at the Secondary and Pre-Secondary levels.
