1. Loyola Academy is a private, co-educational college preparatory high school located in Wilmette, Illinois.
2. A place full of Catholic kids whose parents know they aren't smart enough to compete with more driven New Trier kids. I mean let's face it, if your kid is dumb, you have a lot of money, and you want your kid to get into a good college, New Trier terrifies you because it is actually pretty merit based success. At Loyola Academy, do not worry. There's enough of a nepotistic attitude for you to get your kid into college--all you gotta do is find a way to fork over tens of thousands of dollars each year. If that doesn't sway you, feel free to consider the possibility that they will program you to be as much of a closed-minded Catholic crony as you are.
They tend to be competitive with New Trier athletics because "Daddy" can pay for hours upon hours of private training with a private instructor.

Child: Mom! I want to go to New Trier!
Mom: Sorry, Sally. I'm sending you to Loyola Academy because your father can only build a library at Boston College, and let's face it, you nearly failed out of pre-Algebra despite the private tutor we got you.
Child: Private school? Does that make me smart?
Mom: Of course it does... or at least we can pay people enough to tell you that.
