About
Our mission, as a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school, is to develop the MINDS, HEARTS, SOULS, BODIES, and CHARACTER of young men in their pursuit of becoming MEN FOR AND WITH OTHERS.
For nearly 175 years, St. Joseph’s Preparatory School has been partnering with families throughout the Delaware Valley to support young men on their journey to become caring leaders in their communities, cities, and the world. At the Prep, your son will be loved for the person he is and guided to become the man he was created to be. At its Philadelphia campus, the Prep offers top-tier academics, a commitment to service, robust student life, spiritual formation, championship athletics, unparalleled college preparation, and brotherhood for life as part of Prep Nation.
Need-based financial aid and academic scholarships are available, as well as affinity grants for children and dependents of first responders, primary school teachers, active-duty military, and employees and graduates of HBCUs. Please join us at our Open House on October 19th to learn more about the transformative journey your son can have at the Prep.
