The City is Our Campus

Philadelphia is more than our address; it is part of our identity.

There are many things that set St. Joseph’s Prep apart from other high schools. It is the only high school in the Delaware Valley based on the Jesuit educational model. It is the oldest Catholic high school in the city, with roots dating back to our founding in 1851 alongside Saint Joseph’s University. And, we are the school with a long history of educating the best and brightest young men from across the Delaware Valley, with a geographic reach that no other school can equal.

Living Cura Personalis

An education at St, Joseph’s Preparatory School is based on Cura Personalis, the Latin meaning being “care for the (individual) person.” Our educators establish a personal relationship with students and adapt their teaching to each individual while encouraging them toward personal growth and challenging them to find excellence in all areas while finding God in all things.
