St Josephs Preparatory School 2024

The mission of St. Josephs Prep as a Catholic, Jesuit, urban, college preparatory school is to develop the minds, hearts, souls, and characters of young men in their pursuit of becoming men for and with others. At the Prep, we’re proud of our Jesuit heritage, as well as our downtown location and its front-and-center access to all the culturally-rich “classrooms” a thriving metropolis like Philadelphia has to offerfield museums, famed sports facilities (like the Palaestra at Penn), the Schuylkill River, and more arts and entertainment than you can shake an orchestra baton at. With a “campus” like this, it’s no wonder our students come out with a well-rounded perspective, a transformed sense of humility and justice, and an ever-open eye toward their city, their fellow citizens…and an entire world of possibilities ahead of them.
