Our Mission

Saint Peter’s Prep, a Catholic, Jesuit, college preparatory school, holistically develops the minds, hearts, bodies, and characters of boys in becoming men for and with others.

Both enriched and challenged by its diversity, Prep is a community of learners seeking to find God in all things.

Our rigorous academic, athletic, co-curricular, spiritual and service programs foster in students a knowledge and understanding of the world and the courage to advance the common good with competence, conscience, and compassion.
