St. Aloysius' College is a selective fee-paying independent Jesuit school in Glasgow, Scotland. It was founded in 1859, and named after the famous Jesuit, Aloysius Gonzaga. Its strong Jesuit ethos emphasises practice of the Roman Catholic faith both in the church and in the community, with many charitable and community-based groups in the school. St. Aloysius' College is a co-educational school with a kindergarten, junior school and senior school. There are four houses: Edmund Campion, Ignatius of Loyola, John Ogilvie and Francis Xavier, named after Jesuit saints. The College motto is ad majora natus sum, which means "I was born for greater things". As in many Jesuit schools, pupils are instructed to inscribe AMDG (ad maiorem Dei gloriam - "to the greater glory of God") on all work. The school emblem is an eagle, and the College hymn is the Carmen Aloisianum. The school was established on 12 September 1859 at Charlotte Street, near Glasgow Green, in the East End of Glasgow. Here lived the city's largely migrant Catholic community from Ireland and the Scottish Highlands, both groups which the school was intended to serve.
