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!

Prep, similar to other all-boy Prep schools wants to provide a facade to all of those applying. I'd like to debunk some common misconceptions. "Prep can interact with their sister school, that way you will get exposure to women," No, you would be better off finding your own girl peers and exposing your son/yourself on how to speak to a girl in a respectful manner, the students act as if they have never seen a girl before when exchange students come. "Prep is so diverse," Yes, Prep is very diverse but yet it feels segregated at the same time. If you don't have good friends by the end of sophomore year, have fun making friends in the clique-like atmosphere. "Prep is worse than Seton Hall Prep," If you are a person of color or anything different than what the snobby white people are used to at SHP, you most likely will not like SHP. Prep is better with a warm and welcoming environment. Please visit for freshmen-for-a-day to see if this school is for you!
Saint Peter's Prep was the best choice I've made for my life as I am currently a High school Senior and I transferred here when I was Junior. Not only has the school aided and supported me through my entire college process but they also gave me another place to call home. The teachers are very kind and genuine they can be a little tough at times but they always will have students best interest at heart. The food is good but if your not really into the whole school lunch thing there are plenty of restaurants and places to get food from which all are in walking distance. The academic curriculum is tough but if you really work at it you will see how it is preparing for college and the benefits you get out of it. The school community is very lively and you meet and befriend others from many different backgrounds, cultures, and places which gives you a better understanding of people all over and not just the people within your own community.
St. Peter’s Prep has afforded me an excellent opportunity to succeed in my academic and athletic development. As the only Jesuit school in NJ, Prep truly cares for the whole of its student body and encourages its students to strive for the Magis. The school has a strong brotherhood and embraces diversity and opportunity for all of its members. I have always felt well accepted and have been guided from the very start through the college admissions process.
