Dynamic, Inspirational and Forward-Thinking

Educators shape lives. Le Moyne shapes educators. With classes led by outstanding, experienced educators, an abundance of opportunities to gain hands-on experience in urban, rural and suburban classrooms, and a deep commitment to the Jesuit ideal of service, Le Moyne’s graduate program in education is widely recognized as one of the best in the Northeast. Educators and school administrators trained at Le Moyne are known for their tremendous skill and professionalism, of course. But more importantly, they are widely recognized for their desire to serve their schools and, by extension, their communities. They put thought and care not just into what they are doing, but why, and that distinction makes them among the most sought-after educators, locally and nationally.

Graduate and Undergraduate Program Goals

3. Our candidates model care for the whole person through empathy, compassion and respectful interaction for all and work towards social transformation in the Jesuit tradition.
