Stonyhurst is an independent, private, coeducational Catholic Boarding and Day school guided by the principles of the Society of Jesus in the North West of England. This means that we attach particular importance to emotional and spiritual development as well as academic excellence. Any boy or girl who would benefit from the education we offer is welcome to apply for a place at Stonyhurst. In addition to young Catholics, we have young people here who belong to other Christian traditions, and other faiths, and we encourage all of them to play a full part in the spiritual life of the school.
