Several historic and current educational institutions are named in honor of Saint Ignatius of Loyola.
Loyola University, Loyola College, Loyola School and Loyola Academy are the shared names of various historic and current educational institutions of the Society of Jesus named in honor of the founder of the Roman Catholic Church religious order, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. The names are also used outside the religious order by local archdioceses and dioceses and even non-Catholic denominations of Christianity.
