From Saint Peter's Prep
Each day, students from throughout the region cross paths at the corner of Grand and Warren Streets in Jersey City. Some have walked a few blocks. Some have ridden two or three trains. Some have arrived by car. Whether they have traveled from near or far, all have reached the starting point of a much longer and more meaningful journey. These young men are unique individuals; their backgrounds as diverse as their interests and their hopes for the future.
Together, inspired by outstanding administration, faculty and staff, club moderators and coaches, and guided by the proud tradition of Jesuit education, they form a tight-knit community and strive to become "men for others" - adults who will not only excel in their chosen fields, but become true leaders through their call to serve. The lessons learned and friendships forged here will remain with them wherever their paths may lead. That's why we say it's not just Prep for four years...it's Prep for life!

I love working for Saint Peter's Prep! As an educator with over 15 years experience in both public and private schools, Prep has an unmatched energy, brotherhood, and overall educational experience for its young men. Students are exposed to an unparalleled Jesuit education plus stellar extracurriculars, sports, abroad programs, volunteer opportunities, and so much more. My colleagues are highly educated experts in their fields and also embody the "cura personalis" that is the lifeblood of an Ignatian education. Students are nurtured socially, emotionally, and also well prepared for college, careers and a life beyond Prep. I am grateful to be a part of Prep and its rich history of success.
My son is just finishing his freshman year at SPP and we could not be happier. The family/community environment that Prep displays at their admissions events is not a facade - as a new family, we already feel so connected to the school and other parents as Prep facilitates many community events and gatherings. As for academics, there is an incredible range of opportunity for all students - many honors and advanced classes while also offering standard courses. Additionally, Prep has the Browning Center which is a wonderful resource for any student with an IEP. The extracurricular offerings are vast, with almost any club or sport that you can imagine. Students are encouraged to get involved and if there isn’t a club they want, then students are encouraged to start their own. One of the most notable aspects of Prep is the value that they place on developing the character of these young men. They really stress the importance of being a kind human. We couldn’t be happier here!
Amazing school! Great diversity across all aspects- race, religion, thought, etc. My son has grown and matured so much in his time at SPP. He has met many wonderful peers and teachers and has developed great relationships with many teachers and administrators. He has learned a lot from the commute including how to better manage his time and schedule. Tons of opportunities to be involved in sports teams and clubs. Lots of team spirit at athletic events. Also tons of opportunities to volunteer with other SPP students and staff throughout NJ. Overall a fabulous experience!
