Georgetown Preparatory School celebrates its 234th year since Archbishop John Carroll opened the doors of his academy, as well as Georgetown College (later Georgetown University), on a site overlooking the Potomac. By the second decade of the 20th century, the Georgetown Preparatory School relocated from the college campus to the Maryland countryside.
Today, the timely and timeless mission of the nation’s oldest Catholic boys’ school and only Jesuit boarding school flourishes—to form men of competence, conscience, courage, and compassion; men of faith for and with others. Students come from every background and hail from local neighborhoods, 14 states and 18 countries.
This year is particularly energizing and transformational as the school opens a new campus center, residence hall and stadium. These new facilities will impact the life of every student, providing a meeting place for 379 day and 119 residential students, incorporating 16 faculty families into campus life, creating first-class accommodations for athletics programs and fans, and strengthening Prep’s commitment to bring in the best and the brightest.
“The commitment of our faculty and staff to be present to all our students, not only in the classroom but also across the broad spectrum of our activities and athletics programs, coupled with the uniquely rich diversity of our student body, shapes an unparalleled educational experience both within the Jesuit educational network and among our peer schools” says Georgetown Prep president, Father James Van Dyke, S.J.
