A photographic look at Xavier High School’s educational legacy

Floyd K. Takeuchi examines Xavier High School, a Jesuit boarding school in the Federated States of Micronesia founded in 1952. Centered on the school’s development as a learning community, the book places its history alongside the work of priests, lay educators, and Pacific Islander students. It also addresses Xavier’s limited resources and its role in educating many leaders from across the Western Pacific. With photojournalism as its listed subject, this is a focused account of an institution, the people who sustained it, and its place within Micronesian and regional educational history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Micronesian and Western Pacific history
  • Those exploring Jesuit education and boarding-school communities
  • Photography and photojournalism readers interested in educational institutions

Xavier High School in the Federated States of Micronesia has trained many of the Western Pacific's top leaders since 1952. It has been successful, despite having few resources, when so many others have failed. This book, the first about this remarkable Jesuit boarding school, shows how dedicated priests and lay educators, along with bright young Pacific Islanders, have developed an exceptional learning community.
