All my brothers went to Iona Prep and they turned out amazing. One majors in tech business at Lehigh, another’s at the business school at Wake Forest, and the oldest is a Green beret, and attended the university of Michigan.
Great academic school with a lot of clubs and activities outside of sports! Iona has one of the best football teams in the state as well as many other great sports programs. If sports aren’t your thing there are also many clubs to partake in. Teachers are super supportive and will help you with almost anything.
My son loves the school. His teachers care and are reachable after hours. The baseball program is year round and excellent with multiple coachea
Spent my entire school career at Iona! Met so many friends here that will last a lifetime. The teachers and staff are so wonderful and helpful and have fully prepared me for college!
I've been going to Iona since grammar school and I've felt a connection at this place. The high school is amazing with great teachers and their main focus on academics. The sports are also great for people who want to do that on the downside. After school activities or just hanging out after school is great and I recommend doing your work after school with friends and teachers because it is very helpful.
I have two sons that have spent their entire school career at this institution from Kindergarten all the way to 12th grade. I have formed bonds with a few staff members over the years, but I had a harder time connecting to my current son's administration since I started working full-time again.
I went in a boy and came out a young man. I didn’t want to work hard, but Iona encourages you to see what you can do and I went from grade level to all honors and still got all A’s. I am not an athlete, but I started working out and by 12th grade was a starting wide receiver. I also learned Spanish so much that I was able to speak in Puerto Rico and I am Italian and Polish.
The faculty cares and don’t think you will be a nerd. Just focus on learning and challenging yourself and you will achieve more than you thought possible. I made friends with those that were relaxed and nice, but also were serious about school. We helped each other all 4 years.
Nobody wants me on their college team but I still received a half-scholarship to a tremendous college.

I love the moral they build into our kids. The boys truly come in as boys and walk out as strong men ready to face the challenges of college and our world. I love the values they teach our boys. The strong essence of the existence of God. I know that they helped make my boy into the man he is today, Jr year. There is no better place that I could have chosen for to send my son. You are treated as a family member as soon as you enter the school. Parent are very involved and active and the teachers are there to teach. It's fabulous. I am very happy we made the choice to go Gael.
Very good athletics and academics. Many excellent teachers and coaches as well as other faculty members. Good sized classes and all teachers offer extra help. All programs (College Prep, Honors, A.P., and STEP ) are different and can be a good opportunity for your son to ease or harden his schedule. A very strong public service program is also built into the curriculum which looks good on a college resume. Very strong brotherhood in which will stick with them for their lives. Friends are easy to make due to the diverse student body. This definitely one of New York's best college prep schools!
I graduated in Iona Prep. School. so nice School. All i have to follow my teacher, i achieve my goal.
I as a recent graduate of this fine institution, I can gladly say that I am conquering everything life has to throw at me! I was shown how a true Iona man was and is supposed to act and now I play a very important role in my community which is helping other in need. Which is the true message of this school! I know it may be a bit pricey, but it’s worth every penny my parents spent!
My experience with Iona Prep has been overall positive. I enjoyed the academic and student life aspects of the school. Not only has Iona provided great academics to set my future on the right path but it has also provided various activities for students like myself to get engaged. Some activities that I partook in were JV soccer, Varsity B basketball, etc. These activities taught me important lessons outside of the classroom, such as leadership, sportsmanship, and brotherhood. Iona has also contributed greatly to my college process with the guidance of great college advisors that kept me on track to a positive future. Iona Prep has taught me the real importance of being a Gael and an Iona man.
I'm a freshman at the prep and the school is perfect except you wont make a sports team unless you know the coach on a personal level or are a football star i experienced this first hand and the freshman religion teacher is clueless.
Iona Prep is a great school because they do not want you to fail. The teachers want to help you suceed and will stay after school to make sure you suceed. I wish they would allow seniors to leave for lunch instead of having them sit in senior hallway but it was still a lovely experience.
Iona Prep was a great experience for me. Everything from the people to the academics is great. The teachers are extremely dedicated to their jobs and are always willing to help whenever you need help with something. I've created unforgettable bonds here and I wouldn't be the person that I am today if it weren't for Iona.
During my time at Iona, I have been involved in athletics heavily. In this time, I have had great experiences from winning championships to building friendships for life. More importantly, Iona has set me up for a great future in terms of academics and college prep. The workload was difficult to adjust to, but I am sure it has prepared me for college. The guidance and support I have received from Iona are second to none. I would not have it any other way. Go Gaels!
My son is thriving at Iona Prep. It is challenging academically but the school provides the boys with the resources to succeed. My favorite part of the school is the culture - Iona Prep is a warm, caring and safe community, and they put an emphasis on helping others and volunteering for social good. As a parent, you are proud to drop your son off their each day. The moms and dads are fully involved in the Iona Prep community, so it really is a family experience. Lastly, you will be so impressed with the colleges the Iona Prep students get into thanks to the strong guidance department.
