Saint Xavier High School

Saint Xavier High School is a Catholic college preparatory day school in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in 1864 and sponsored by the Xaverian Brothers. Enrollment exceeds 1,000 students, making it one of the region's largest independent schools for young men. The school's mission pairs rigorous academics with formation in respect, honor, and service—principles embedded in curriculum and daily operations.

Teaching here means working in a college preparatory environment where academic rigor is standard. Faculty teach across English, mathematics, sciences, social studies, and a four-language program: Mandarin Chinese, French, German, and Spanish. The school's size allows specialized departments and electives while maintaining the personal relationships central to Catholic education.

The Xaverian Brothers' presence shapes school culture in practical ways. Their commitment to education as spiritual calling influences hiring and community standards. Teachers do not need to be Catholic but must respect the school's religious mission and identity.

Saint Xavier regularly hires faculty across academic departments, languages, sciences, and administrative support roles. Compensation packages reflect Louisville's cost of living and the school's financial stability as a 160-year-old institution with established resources.

For educators seeking stability at a large, mission-driven Catholic school with deep roots, Saint Xavier offers purposeful work and collegial environment. The day school model allows faculty to maintain separate home lives while engaging fully in campus life during school hours.
