[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep is one of the schools we are interested in and was wondering how are non-Catholic boys and/or their families treated by the school and other families?[/quote]

The answer in a word is "politely".

High school boys aren't going to make a big deal ---or any deal --- out of anyone's religion, Neither will the Faculty. The Jesuits -- if there are any left -- actually like having different viewpoints on Religion.

But there might be conversations and even activities where your son may feel a little left-out. Nothing serious. But, he will be, afterall, a minority.

Many of these boys and their families know each other before they arrive at Prep from their parish, from neighborhoods, from CYO and other youth sports, and from family connections.

And the schools tend to align themselves with similar girl's schools. Prep boys date girls from Catholic girls schools including Stone Ridge, Visitation and Holy Cross.

That being said, in my experience there is no group of student's that are more happy than the African-American students at Prep. There aren't a lot of them, but those that are there appear to love the place. And the majority of these boys are not Catholic.
