De Smet is a great school. Every teacher really cares for each individual student and pushes them to be the very best. Everyone at De Smet is like minded in the fact that they want a to work hard to pursue a great education as well as act in a Godly manner while putting others before themselves.

My son really thrived here he graduated in 2018 and went to Rockhurst with scholarships around $32,000/yr. There really is a huge brotherhood component and the instructors are very engaging as well

My son is a senior at Desmet Jesuit. Overall I am satisfied with the school and staff. The staff is very personal with the parents and students. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure the boys have everything that's needed to succeed. I would like for the sports program to be less political.

The focus on faith at De Smet is what differentiates them from many. Combined with teachers that really care, it's a recipe for success, helping lay the foundation that makes young men outstanding leaders in things that really matter.

This school is a hell hole and an inaccurate representation for a christian school. If I could go back in time I would not have sent my son to this poor excuse for a school. If you value your son's education you won't make the same mistake i did and send them there either.
