We are a private Catholic college preparatory high school for young men, grades 9 through 12, dedicated to following the educational philosophy of St. John Bosco. This philosophy is based on reason, religion, kindness, and youthful optimism. As such, our mission for the past century has been to empower our young men for life by promoting academic excellence through intellectual reasoning; developing a mature character and sense of responsibility; encouraging artistic and physical talents; nurturing a sense of community; fostering faith and love.
As a community of teachers and administrators, we have embraced the philosophy of our founder St. John Bosco and have seen countless young men achieve their potential throughout the years. Our holistic approach to education makes Don Bosco Prep a unique school where young men are formed into global citizens with a purpose and perspective.
Socome,andtakethefirststepstowardsjoiningthe Don Bosco Prep community!
Sincerely,
George Mihalik ‘05,Director of Admissions
