Starting freshman year after coming out of the Pandemic was a rough start for students and the Administration. A bit chaotic controlling the boys back into a routine. Each year after improved with student evolvement and school communication. As a parent I've been happy with my son's academic preparedness for college. Huge community support amongst parents. Overall Benedictine has been a great choice for our family. Very proud of our son's high school journey. He has excelled in the classroom and on the athletic field and because of this he has secured a great opportunity to continue his education and athletic career in college.

I'm the parent of a Cadet. The teachers, the sports, the clubs, and especially the academics are second to none. There are no participation trophies here. He is surrounded by high-achievers, and he strives to be the best of the best. Kids rise to their competition, so there is no better place for him to become the best that he can be. We could not have made a better investment in his future than sending him to BCP.

Benedictine has definitely changed my life from when I first step foot there. I have embraced every aspect of the school and found success in every aspect. As a student, I could not be happier with what Benedictine has to offer. I am exited to be a senior here and encourage anyone to go to Benedictine for every aspect of the school, whether that's academics, sports, military or religious.

My boys are very different from each other and each gained life forming support and experiences at this school. The 100+ year old traditions form men of character and faith. They developed a brotherhood t...

Truly exceptional learning community. The curriculum is tailored to how boys learn, and the school does an excellent job of fostering brotherhood and a strong faith in God. The experience shaped my boys into becoming confident young men.

Graduated here in 2017. To the person who said bullying is encouraged. That is just plain WRONG. The best way I can describe Benedictine is that its like a fraternity (without the drinking and partying, id be lying to say that it didn't happen in high school but not to the extent of a fraternity, no...
