The School
Georgetown Preparatory School is a Jesuit, Catholic college preparatory school for young men. On the beautiful 93-acre campus in North Bethesda Maryland, about 380 day and 120 boarding students in grades 9 through 12 from 20 states and 20 countries have access to transformative experiences in the classroom and on the athletic field while they deepen their faith, build lasting friendships, strengthen their leadership, and develop a lifelong commitment to service and brotherhood.

In 2027 the school will have been independent of Georgetown University for a century, having started the combined pursuit of educational excellence over 130 years prior. During that time the educators and leaders have continually returned to the Ignatian principle of Cura Personalis, a cornerstone of Jesuit education, formation, and ministry meaning “care for the whole person.” As the school’s President, Rev. Father Van Dyke is leading a community built to recognize, nurture, and respond to the unique gifts, needs, and challenges of each individual.
