Fordham Preparatory School is an all-boys Catholic school located in the Bronx, NY, forming leaders in Faith, Scholarship, and Service.

Fordham Preparatory School’s commitment to education is shaped by the spirituality and pedagogical tradition of the Society of Jesus, founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola. Fordham Prep stresses the development of excellence in the whole person: intellectual, religious, social, emotional, and physical. Today, its educational apostolate is strengthened by its affiliation with the local, national and international networks of Jesuit secondary schools.
