Founded in 1789, Georgetown Preparatory School is America`s oldest Catholic boarding and day school for young men in grades 9 through 12, and the only Jesuit boarding school in the country.
Situated on 93 acres in suburban Washington, D.C., Prep's mission is to form men of competence, conscience, courage, and compassion; men of faith and men for others.
At Georgetown Prep, we are committed to the rich heritage of Jesuit educational principles of intellectual excellence, reflection, and personal responsibility.
After more than two decades sitting on one side of the admissions desk, making decisions about who would be offered a spot at college, and now living in a boarding ...moreschool dormitory and helping families navigate the process from the students' perspective, I am reminded of the Henry David Thoreau quote: "The question is not what you look at, but what you see." hide
