All Boys, Roman Catholic

view map request catalog

Georgetown Preparatory School is an independent, Jesuit college-preparatory school for young men. Founded in 1789, Prep is the nation's oldest Catholic boys' boarding and day school. Prep's academically rigorous liberal arts curriculum is based in the educational philosophy of Jesuit founder, St. Ignatius Loyola: a belief in reflection, discernment, scholarly excellence, and personal responsibility, as well as the importance of being "Men for Others." Nationally recognized athletic and fine arts programs with close access to Washington's museums and seat of government compliment the academic program.

Summary: Georgetown Prep is the oldest Catholic Preparatory School and the only Jesuit boarding school in the United States. Founded in 1789, the year the Constitution was ratified and George Washington became President, Prep has now formed men of “competence, conscience, courage, and compassion” for America and the world throughout the course of four different centuries.

The Resident Program is an essential component of Prep’s mission. A dedicated and professional staff, comprised of both Jesuit and lay educators, lives in a cohesive and mutually supportive community with the residents. Under the guidance of a Resident Dean, Assistant Resident Dean, four Housemasters, four Assistant Housemasters, seven Prefects, and three Jesuits living on corridor (a staff/resident ratio of 1:5), residents are provided with quality supervision and guidance in all aspects of their lives. The Resident Staff is devoted to creating a fun and active environment that maintains a healthy balance between the good order and discipline essential to a successful boarding program, but which also fosters the mentoring relationships essential to developing a young man’s full potential and character.

Prep’s Resident Program offers residents the complete high school experience. They are continually encouraged to try harder, strive farther, and accomplish all that they are capable of in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in life in general—and they share this journey with residents from nearly 20 different countries and states! Through the time-proven tradition of Jesuit education, residents receive the human, academic, and spiritual formation necessary to become “men for others” in a 21st century world.

Student Life

Summary: There is much more to Georgetown Prep than classes and athletic competitions, and campus surely doesn't shut down at 3 o'clock. Extracurricular opportunities are unlimited at Prep, from the Prep Players to school publications to Physics Club and more. Students can also create new clubs and activities.

Prep's Resident Program offers students an opportunity they would have nowhere else in the world. The program brings the students and faculty together in a supportive and nurturing environment. On weeknights, students are required to participate in study hall, during which they complete their school work. Following study hall, they meet for group prayer and reflection on the day. On weekends, Prep’s proximity to Washington, D.C. and the Metro transit system offers students the opportunity to explore cultural, educational and recreational activities unique to the nation’s capital. Prep provides interesting activities every weekend for its residents, such as mixers and trips to athletic events.
