Seton Hall Preparatory SchoolSeton Hall Preparatory School (Seton Hall Prep) is a private boys' high school of the Archdiocese of Newark, located in the suburban community of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey. The Prep is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Founded in 1856, Seton Hall is the oldest Catholic college preparatory school in New Jersey. The Prep provides an academically demanding environment to approximately 900 young men from a diverse spectrum of over 120 towns in the northern part of New Jersey. Seton Hall students follow a strong college preparatory program, with four-year requirements in English, Mathematics, and Theology. After completing a traditional core program during the first two years, students may establish a curriculum geared to their college and career plans from a wide selection of courses in Science, History, Language, Fine Arts, English and Physical Education. College-level Advanced Placement courses are available in twelve areas. Diversity Central to the Prep experience is the diversity of the student population. With students coming from ten counties, the breadth of background the students bring to Prep academic and extracurricular activities is a source of great pride. Drawing students from such a wide area, indeed from 105 towns, even Staten Island, the Prep draws its student population from points as far afield as Jamesburg and Whitehouse Station, to Chester and Denville, to Lyndhurst and Montville, to Pompton Plains and Kinnelon, at the same time as from 53 families from Newark and 77 from West Orange itself. Offerings The Prep offers an extensive co-curricular activities program, with numerous academic, service, performance, cultural, publication, and recreation clubs and activities. Additionally, the Prep offers fifteen interscholastic sports, most with accompanying sub-varsity level teams. The main campus, immediately accessible to Interstate Route 280 and several bus and train routes, is augmented by a nearby 44 acre site, providing auxiliary athletic facilities currently being developed with two new practice and game fields . Philosophy The Prep takes as its mission the development of the whole manspiritual, intellectual, social and physical. The Prep community proceeds from a belief that growth as a whole person is not limited to secular knowledge but involves the spiritual fulfillment that has been a central concern in its educational tradition. In as much as such growth and maturity are rooted in personal and social responsibility, a code of conduct and expectations is in place to guide the student community in their daily activities. Consequent to its Catholic identity, the Prep seeks to foster an ecumenical and diverse community, faithful to a Judeo-Christian heritage. External Links
