St. Francis Preparatory School is the largest Catholic (non-diocesan) college preparatory school in the country. It was founded by the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn in 1858.
Saint Francis Preparatory School is a community that affirms its Catholic identity by the four "Golden Links" of Franciscan education, which holds that Spiritual, Intellectual, Social, and Physical values can be drawn from learning. We direct our educational efforts through academic programs and activities to enable students to value all of God's creation. Enlightened by the teachings of Jesus, we
-the students, parents, faculty, staff, administration, and alumni-view the school as a means of encountering God and as a visible sign of our religious beliefs. In the words of Pope John Paul II, the mission of the Catholic school is "to communicate Christ." At the Prep, this is uniquely interpreted in the spirit of Franciscanism, which is to manifest peace, love, and respect for the individual, the community, and the environment
