Student Life
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.
