Georgetown Prep is the oldest Catholic Preparatory School and the only Jesuit boarding school in the United States. Founded in 1789, the year the Constitution was ratified and George Washington became President, Prep has now formed men of “competence, conscience, courage, and compassion” for America and the world throughout the course of four different centuries.
The Resident Program is an essential component of Prep’s mission. A dedicated and professional staff, comprised of both Jesuit and lay educators, lives in a cohesive and mutually supportive community with the residents. Under the guidance of a Resident Dean, Assistant Resident Dean, four Housemasters, four Assistant Housemasters, seven Prefects, and three Jesuits living on corridor (a staff/resident ratio of 1:5), residents are provided with quality supervision and guidance in all aspects of their lives. The Resident Staff is devoted to creating a fun and active environment that maintains a healthy balance between the good order and discipline essential to a successful boarding program, but which also fosters the mentoring relationships essential to developing a young man’s full potential and character.
Prep’s Resident Program offers residents the complete high school experience. They are continually encouraged to try harder, strive farther, and accomplish all that they are capable of in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in life in general—and they share this journey with residents from nearly 20 different countries and states! Through the time-proven tradition of Jesuit education, residents receive the human, academic, and spiritual formation necessary to become “men for others” in a 21st century world.
