Xavier is an all-boys, private, Catholic, college preparatory high school. Since 1963, Xavier has been one of the top academic and athletic institutions in CT.
Joined December 2011
Xavier was named Best Private School in the Best of Hartford 2024 Awards, a reflection of the enduring spirit within our walls. It's a testament to every student who’s walked our halls, every teacher who’s inspired them, and every family who’s believed in the mission of Xavier.
