Why Loyalist?
In an impersonal world of big lecture halls and stadium seating, we know our students by name and circumstance. Small frees us to provide one-on-one attention. It means our students feel like they matter. That they belong. Small means that we can move mountains to help every student succeed, confident in who they are and what they are capable of becoming. Because we’re small, we make a BIG difference.
