Since 1868, St. Benedict's
Preparatory School has welcomed the sons of Newark and its
neighboring communities. Under the guidance of the monks of
Newark Abbey, the school's philosophy follows the
1,500-year-old Benedictine tradition of Christian education.
Guided by The Rule of Benedict, written in the sixth century,
St. Benedict's combines rigorous academic study with an
emphasis on building a community whose members are responsible
to one another for developing virtue, character, and talent.
Today, St. Benedict's Preparatory School's longstanding
tradition of schooling that is demanding but supportive, tough
but caring, thrives anew. The school counts many of New
Jersey's finest scholars, athletes, and business professional
civic, and religious leaders among its alumni.
