Seton Hall Prep is a great school to attend. Everyone gets along no matter where you came from as this school is like a brotherhood. From athletics to clubs you will always find something that interests you. I think the best part at Seton Hall is how much the teachers help their students to succeed. The bonds between guys are amazing as I have met some great friends. The only thing that I do not like is the food. The food can be pretty good or really bad. It is not the food that is unhealthy, it can be times where the food is too bland.

It was an excellent experience for me because I was surrounded with many like minded people. Everyone there is determined and driven, so it is a very good atmosphere to be apart of. The teachers are extremely helpful and kind. Throughout my four years at Seton Hall Prep, I did not have one teacher that I disliked. You are taught to be a gentleman and how to act the right way as well. Nothing but good words to say about the school.

I've enjoyed my experience at Seton Hall so far. Most of my professors have been very knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I reach out to someone via email I'm usually responded to in a timely manner with a solution to my problem. The school does a lot to make the campus fun, there's always some activity going on year round.

He has been challenged academically and athletically and although nothing came easy, he is a better student, a better athlete, a better person as a result. We opted not to send him to our local top-ranked public school and we could not be happier wit...

I am currently a freshman at SHP and I could not be happier. The teachers are very knowledgeable and available. In addition to Seton Hall's rigorous academics is our athletic program which is consistently among the best in the country. The Prep fields nationally ranked soccer, football, basketball,...

My son attended Seton Hall and I could not have been more disappointed. This school did not prepare my son for the future at all and all they do is care about sports, even though their funding for sports is terrible. My son wanted to transfer after his Freshman year because it was too easy and he wa...

My 3 children went to 3 different high schools. SHP was the best among them. They know how to teach boys and they know how to discipline them. I was never so happy with a school as I am with SHP. Bravo SHP!
