Holy Ghost Preparatory School Reviews

HGP has been an incredible school for my sons. We were interested in continuing their single-sex, values based education and Ghost has proven to be the school that we hoped it would be. Caring faculty who serve as terrific role models and mentors, state-champion level athletics, and opportunities to participate in international service trips and in extra-curriculars that they otherwise might not have been exposed to....Ghost has aided in their development as scholars and global citizens.

We'd recommend it for any family looking to educate their son in a spirit of service, compassion, and intellectual curiosity.

Holy Ghost does an excellent job preparing their students for college. There are many chances for a student to get involved from athletics to club/organizations for after school hours. The faculty are engaged and know their students strengths and weaknesses which allows them to not just teach the curriculum but teach to the student. The support system in place for the students as well as the parents is great, everyone from administration to teachers to counselors are there to ensure the success of the student.
Holy Ghost Preparatory School is an all boys Catholic school in Bensalem, that is dedicated to preparing young men for college and for life after that. Holy Ghost offers students a challenging course load, supported by great teachers who are ready to guide and help students. While Holy Ghost's main focus is to prepare students for the academic rigor they will experience in college, the school does a great job of instilling young men with good values that will help through out their life. Furthermore the school is still improving by starting projects like a new stem center and completing a new building dedicated to activities like music and sports. Holy Ghost Prep is a great school that will help shape a young man into a well rounded, and prepared college student and adult.
