Why Choose St. Joseph’s Prep for your son?

Because you want him to:
  • Gain a competitive edge by studying in one of the best countries in the world.
  • Stay with a family that you can trust and whose son is part of the Prep community.
  • Learn English at a school that has a strong reputation for its excellence and that will challenge him through a classical curriculum.
  • Learn from men and women dedicated to the Jesuit philosophy of education that includes “cura personalis” (or attention to the individual student and respect for his potential).
  • Receive an individualized curriculum and care that focuses on his home school requirements.
  • Learn more about the American culture by attending a school whose location attracts a diverse mix of students and gives him access to all of Philadelphia’s cultural and historical landmarks.
  • Join a brotherhood that permeates life at the Prep, a bond of friendship and family that is incomparable with a commitment to strong moral and ethical values.
At the Prep, young men become “men for and with others,” men who strive to understand not only themselves but also the global world in which they live—and to cultivate the best of both.
