The mission of Xavier School of Excellence (XSE) is to provide its students with a strong academic curriculum (the building blocks) and broad cultural experiences in a supportive, innovative, and challenging environment that fosters academic success, good citizenship, and create life long learners.

We believe that by combining a strong accountable academic environment and the core values such as honesty, respect, trust and responsibility, Xavier will shape and develop academically, socially, and emotionally responsible individuals that will positively and conscientiously influence the world around them.

The organizing group is the Indiana Schools of Excellence Foundation, Inc.  This not-for-profit foundation has recently been formed to bring high quality school choice in to the South Bend community.  The group consists of conscientious parents, professionals, and entrepreneurs within the South Bend community that are dedicated to impacting school age students and St. Joseph County on an educational level by providing school choice.

We believe that by combining a strong accountable academic environment and the core values such as honesty, respect, trust, and responsibility, Xavier will shape and develop academically, socially, and emotionally responsible individuals that will positively and conscientiously influence the world around them.

The Xavier School of Excellence was founded on the basis of a large community population vocalizing the need for alternative choice options in education that will bridge the gap between the public and private school sectors.  Although there are several private school options, they are often not affordable for majority of the incomes that reside in the SBCS. Xavier School of Excellence’s mission will strive to fill that gap and steadily grow in the problem areas currently facing the SBCSC.

XSE will offer a unique blend of strong basic education, technology integration, foreign language component, and community and global involvement.  Parents will pledge to be involved in the educational process.  Through its active board and its parent volunteer, XSE will active engage the local universities, businesses, and non-for-profits to expand the students’ horizons beyond the classroom.
