Seton Hall Prep is New Jersey’s oldest Catholic college preparatory school. The Prep's tradition is matched by its commitment to the education of young men by teaching them to think critically, communicate effectively and become contributing members of society.
We strive to ensure our students learn to think critically, communicate effectively, and appreciate diversity. The Prep is a truly special place where students are molded into men of character and faith, and are given the tools to become contributing members of society.
At Seton Hall Prep, our students are pushed to look at, think about, and respond to the changing world around them critically, effectively, and sincerely through four years of rigorous education. They learn to think of themselves, their communities, and their society broadly and deeply within our Catholic Mission.
At Seton Hall Prep, students participate in many of the amazing offerings available to them outside of the classroom. This includes 15 sports, more than 70 activities and clubs, a variety of intramurals and a seemingly endless number of service projects.
Educating the whole man includes teaching a true understanding of the importance of service and actually participating in the service of others in need.
Attending The Prep means a lifelong bond with your Alma Mater. Our Alumni network is 11,000+ strong and our Alumni Office is here for you. Please be sure to stay connected to The Prep so that we can better serve each other.
Your support of The Prep ensures that we carry on our rich tradition and storied history of providing an outstanding Catholic education to young men from all walks of life, and remain competitive with the best of America's college prep schools.

The Robotics Team has been hard at work building and competing with their robot dubbed “The Shanty” in this year’s First Robotics Competition.

The students worked through all parts of the process: design, prototyping, fabrication, wiring, testing, coding, drive practice, and strategy.
