Magis
Magis is a central idea in Jesuit education
The word means “the more” and reflects Saint Ignatius’ desire to seek what leads to deeper purpose, greater generosity and stronger service.
At Riverview, magis invites students to approach learning, relationships and personal growth with intention— with magis rather than ambition. It encourages them to ask not how much they can achieve, but how they can act with meaning and contribute to others.
Seeking
the Better Way
Students learn to make thoughtful decisions, grow through challenges and focus on what matters most. In practice, this means using talents well, applying effort wisely and remaining open to improvement.
Growth
Through Reflection
Through retreats, pastoral conversations and classroom reflection activities, boys learn to identify strengths, name difficulties, and seek a path of deeper purpose.
Service as
a Response
Whether through school programs, local community involvement or daily interactions with friends and family, students learn that “the more” often means giving more of themselves for the good of others.
Excellence
that is Human
Students are challenged to become young men who use their abilities thoughtfully, who build strong communities and who strive to make the world more just and compassionate.
A Lifelong
Orientation
Riverview encourages students to carry this mindset into adulthood, continuing to ask how their choices can serve others and lead to a more meaningful life. It becomes a habit of striving for the better option, guided by reflection, generosity and purpose.
