Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas (commonly referred to as Jesuit Dallas , Dallas Jesuit , JCP ) is a private, college-preparatory school for young men under the direction of the Society of Jesus and home to the Jesuit Dallas Museum in Dallas, in the U.S. state of Texas. While Jesuit operates independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas, it exists and serves the Catholic community with the leave of the bishop.
"Jesuit High School" opened on September 14, 1942. Located on the former grounds of Holy Trinity College on 3872 Oak Lawn Avenue in Dallas, Texas, the school had 195 students registered. September 1, 1955, it was the first school in Dallas to integrate, when sophomore Charles Edmond and freshman Arthur Allen, both African-Americans, enrolled.
On August 1, 1963 the school opened its current campus at 12345 Inwood Road.
The school has a 28-acre (11 ha, 109,000 m²) campus located on Inwood Road in North Dallas, Texas, adjacent to St. Rita Catholic School, south-west of the intersection of the Dallas North Tollway and Interstate 635 (LBJ Freeway).
Jesuit's curriculum includes eight academic departments, each with one or two chairpersons.
The fine arts department includes courses in theater arts, stagecraft, filmmaking, ceramics, digital media, and a number of musical offerings. Four languages are offered at Jesuit: Spanish, French, Mandarian Chinese, and Latin. Jesuit requires three years of consecutive study of the same language for graduation. In addition, community service is a central part of the educational model. Students are required to complete 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement, but nearly every student far exceeds the minimum. Students contribute nearly 100,000 hours of service each year to over 100 agencies in the Dallas area and throughout the world.
