Why PREP?

We believe in always asking questions, and in deeply exploring our relationships with our studies, our faith, and one another.

We believe in the motto of the society of Jesus, Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (AMDG), for the greater glory of God.

We believe that diversity makes us stronger, and that all voices deserve to be represented and heard. Because we are rooted in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition, we welcome students from all backgrounds and all religions.

A decision will be posted on the Admissions Portal on Thursday, February 23, 2023 at 3:00 p.m.

As a Junior transfer, I wanted to push myself academically and socially in a new environment away from home. While transferring can be difficult and uneasy, Georgetown Prep made the process simple and the community welcomed me the first day I stepped onto campus. I learned to adapt to Prep’s curriculum, understand myself, and how I could serve in the community. The friendships I have formed will last beyond Georgetown Prep. Now I am confident in my ability to make the similar transition into college.” Parker Parris ‘22

Transfer Students

Information

Transfer students are accepted on a space-contingency basis, which changes from year to year. Tenth grade transfer applicants are most commonly accepted. Please note the following when transferring:

Students who have taken the PSAT may use that score in lieu of the SSAT
Transfer students will need a letter of good standing from the Dean of Students or Vice Principal (or other equivalent) at their current school
Course placement will be determined by placement tests and Prep’s Academic Dean
10th grade is the preferred year for transfer applicants
Students entering the 11th grade will not be required to complete the Latin requirement
Prep does not accept post-graduate students

Recommendations

If you are a transfer applicant, you will need a letter from your current Dean of Students (or equivalent). This letter is to indicate that you are in good standing at your current school. Your application will be considered incomplete until this letter is on file in the admissions office. This sealed letter should be mailed or emailed directly to the admissions office.

Notes on Academics

For students who will be repeating a year at Prep, English courses need to be selected in conjunction with College Counseling and the Academic Dean. Prep’s English courses are standard, so a student either has to be in an advanced level of English for their grade level or will need to take a different English course over the summer for credit.
Students must satisfy 10 of the 16 core courses by the end of the 3rd year in high school.
Computer Science and Visual Arts/Performing Arts courses are not NCAA approved. Environmental Ethics and Robotics are not approved, but pending review.
Math and Modern Languages: if a student is placed “back” in these subjects, then talk to College Counseling. (Example: took algebra or pre-cal at previous school and Prep places student in these courses again; or the student took Spanish I or French II at previous school and Prep places the student in Spanish I or French II). The NCAA does not count what it perceives as repeat courses. It may be to the student’s benefit to switch languages.

By the end of junior year, a Prep student will most likely have completed the following Core Courses, depending on their schedule:

Three math courses
Three English courses
Three language courses (Latin and Modern Language) - “additional core courses”
Two Science courses
Two History courses - “social studies”
