Don Bosco Prep School

Life changer!!!! The greatest decision I ever made was to attend this school. The faculty and staff truly care for the students and push them to learn positively. The academic programs are second to none while supporting a strong sports culture. You must maintain academic standards to play sports unlike other schools. I am more than prepared for college and was accepting into every college and military colleges I applied to. If you want a top academic school with great sports and want to be a leader of tomorrow than go to this school. Go Ironmen!

The most impactful circumstance affecting our son’s education is best understood when contrasting the public school he initially attended versus the school he then transferred into, Don Bosco. It is unusual in the sense that his previous public school was once regarded as one of the best public schools in the state, but has since experienced a precipitous decline owing to field testing of experimental teaching/grading policies and unrestrained social-engineering leading to the disorientation and general detriment of its students. Traditional values are subject to questioning and/or cynicism. At Don Bosco, on the other hand, the academic and the spiritual are focused and well established. An excellent student, our son has thrived academically at Don Bosco. Although he did well in public school, the dynamic between Christian and the Don Bosco academic philosophy has induced a markedly noticeable vigor bringing him to a much higher level of personal enthusiasm and performance.

Don Bosco Preparatory is a Salesian, Catholic secondary school which since 1915 has prepared young men for life following St. John Bosco’s educational philosophy of reason, religion, kindness and joyful optimism. Each student is encouraged to grow in faith and love, to mature in character and responsibility, and to develop his intellectual, physical and artistic talents in order to become effective citizens in the Church and in the world.

Don Bosco Prep has a strong sense of brotherhood and togetherness. I felt like I grew as a person over my four years. Academics were not very demanding. Thoroughly enjoyed playing a sport there and am still close with former teammates. Bosco has a great culture and atmosphere and certainly recommend it to anyone.

Average school academically, but excels in sports. It is an embarassment to the Catholic Church as religion is optional..
