About

The students, faculty, staff, and alumni, collectively called Prep Nation, consider the Prep our home. It is a place where we are seen, loved, and challenged to become the person we were born to be.

Since 1851, St. Joseph's Prep has supported the formation of outstanding young men from across the Delaware Valley. Rooted in a tradition of Jesuit education, the Prep develops the minds, hearts, souls, and characters of young men who go forward to make a difference in the world, men "for and with others." At its Philadelphia campus, the Prep offers your son top-tier academics, a commitment to service, robust student life, spiritual formation, championship athletics, unparalleled college preparation, and brotherhood for life as part of Prep Nation.

Need-based financial aid and academic scholarships are available, as well as affinity grants for children and dependents of first responders, primary school teachers, active-duty military, and employees and graduates of HBCUs.
