The Vision, Mission and Values of Belvedere College SJ
Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam
Founded in 1832, Belvedere College SJ is a Catholic secondary school for boys in the heart of Dublin city, Ireland. As part of a worldwide network of Jesuit schools, we are inspired by the missionary life and service of our patron, St Francis Xavier SJ, and our College motto Per Vias Rectas (By just paths) as our way of proceeding.

Our Values
There are four key Values which characterise our culture.
1. Community
We are a Catholic community of welcome and inclusion. We foster this through respectful and collaborative relationships between staff, students, parents, past pupils, and the wider community. We understand that we belong to one human family and treasure the diverse cultures within it.
3. The Magis - The More
We continuously strive for ‘The More’ – in our spiritual growth, in academia, the arts, sport and social justice. We are challenged to live out our unique potential as human beings. We hold each other to a higher standard and seek to rise to every challenge – all for the Greater Glory of God (AMDG).
2. Jesuit Tradition
Steeped in the rich and evolving tradition of Jesuit education since 1548, we embrace the spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola to find God in all things, to care for each individual (cura personalis), and to live an active faith in service of others.
4. Justice
We strive to be people of integrity who relate honestly and fairly with one another. We walk with and advocate for those on the margins, locally and globally. We recognise the urgent need to respond to the pandemic of poverty and climate change.
