Great parent experience. Parents are actively involved. Faculty get to know and care about my son. Lots of faculty are alumni which speaks volumes about the connectivity of the students to the school beyond graduation. Lots of resources and activities for student involvement. Very happy with my son's choice to attend this school.

Fordham Preparatory School has been great for my son that is now a senior. The strong academic reputations, smaller class sizes, individualized attention from teachers and administrators is so important and help the students gain confidence and become true gentleman.

Since enrolling here, Fordham Prep has served as my second home. I sometimes spend more time there than at home, from early practice in the morning to rehearsal at night. The people here come from every background and religion; everyone can find their group in just a few days. There have honestly been no bad parts of my experience (except the price of lunch), and honestly, I have no complaints.

The greatness of Fordham starts with their leadership and teachers who are committed and accessible. Everything necessary to develop a college-ready, global citizen is of...
