Loyola Academy is a co-educational, Jesuit, college preparatory high school located in Wilmette Illinois. Although it is located on the North Shore and draws around 50% of its students from suburbs bordering Wilmette, the remainder of LA students come from all corners of the Greater Chicago area. Its not uncommon to have a kid from Barrington and a kid from Lincoln Park sitting with you in the 'brary. We Ramblers take pride in this wide-spread diversity. Loyola does its best to build a school community and have Ramblers out in the world, so there is a heavy emphasis on service work living out the school's motto, 'Leaders in Service' and/or 'Men and Women for Others'. In fact, over 90% of graduates take part in Life! Be In It! at least once in their career.
Loyola is well known for its strong athletic program. The Loyola football team consistently makes it far in the IHSA playoffs, but athletic success is not limited to the Gridiron. You'd be hard-pressed to find a year where we didn't win CCL/GCAC in at least 15 sports. Other notable teams are the Boys and Girls Lacrosse, Hockey and Swimming and Diving.
The main focus of Loyola is to get kids into college, and were damn good at it. On an annual basis, 99.9% percent of our graduates attend four-year universities including a substantial number of Big Ten and a handful of Ivy League acceptances. It would be hard to find a Rambler who has not taken at least one AP course in their tenure.

Certainly the Academy has a culture like no other. Everybody is related to at least one other person that goes/has gone to the Academy. Every Rambler can say 'I got two jugs' without thinking twice about it. It is hard to name all the people who got thrown out in their because there are so many. No one actually knows what a Rambler is. Avoid Suela at all costs. The librarians are glorified babysitters. Everybody parks at Edens and hopes they don't get caught.
Most students claim to hate Loyola Academy, but they know that their stay at the Academy will be among the best 4 years of their lives.

May 27 Word of the Day
The act of extreme masturbation. You must "knock one out" whilst in close proximity to any of the following; Your mum, a nun, your boss, a member of parliament, George Michael. A person with capabilities to act upon catching you mid self-abuse obvisouly ups the ante. Ejaculation must be reached before your danger wank target comes (no pun intended) to investigate. The higher the chances of being discovered with one's pants down, pulling one's war face is obviously where the danger comes from. The more danger involved the harder (or softer) it is to complete the task in hand (snigger). The more dangerous the better. The chance of being arrested, pummeled by an angry father or having your hand severed by an arab's sabre means that you are a pro "Danger wanker."
"I was in my bedroom and i shouted downstairs, "Mum there's call the police there's a madman with a set of steak knives hacking me to pieces!" As soon as I heard her scream, I dropped my trousers and commenced the danger wank. As I heard her stomp up the stairs I knew i had to be quick so i upped the pace, i heard her stumble on the top step, which bought me some time. Unfortunately for me I timed my finish badly. As my mum barged through the door armed with a rollign pin I chugged all over her. I spent the evening in A&E with concusion. Now thats what i call extreme DW"

The best prep school you'll find in the mid west, home of the Ramblers. Located in Wilmette on the North Shore. No matter what those stuck up fags say, we are a lot better than New Trier. We're rich, sexy, good looking, smart, and athletic. Oh, and no doubt we are better than your school.
Kid #1: Where are you going to school next year?
Kid #2: New Trier
Kid#1: What, are you high or something? Loyola Academy is so much better.
Kid #2: ...yes. Yes I am.
Kid #2: New Trier

A private "Jesuit" high school located on the North Shore of Chicago, though most students typically do not reside there. Typically for students who are not smart, wealthy, athletic, or good looking enough to attend the superior New Trier High School. Students who attend here are constantly outsmarted and kicked out of state championships every year by their more talented rivals. Students are required to wear uniforms do to their lack of style and money. The Loyola Gold Hockey Team has lost its last six straight Championship appearances. The Men's Lacrosse team has continually lost the past five years to New Trier. And last, it was recently discovered that the school's former President had an affair with a student. Wow, way to keep it classy. And, what the hell is a Rambler?
Boy: "Are you going to Loyola Academy or New Trier next year?"
Boy 2: "New Trier, but my twin brother has to go to Loyola because he failed the entry exam, has been cut from all sports since the age of five, and looks like a troll. I think he will have some luck there."
