STRATEGIC PLAN | 2017 2022
Praying, studying and working together, our communal life is animated by the spirit of magis (“greater”)
and cura personalis (“care of the individual”).
Magis, a distinctive aspect of Jesuit education, expresses the responsibility to seek a greater
realization of our potential and mission and to strive for excellence in all things. We are
dedicated to the development of a curriculum and community that call forth the best
from students, faculty and sta for the greater glory of God.
Cura personalis is the Jesuit resolve to know and treat each person as an individual made
in the image and likeness of God. Cura personalis encourages students, faculty and sta to
build relationships, both in and out of the classroom, based on dignity, respect and trust.
e intellectual and religious values which motivate our mission as a school guide each individual’s total
development. We challenge each graduate to be a lifelong learner, an agent of positive change, spiritually
motivated and committed to justice, a healer and shaper of his world.
Mission Statement
As a Catholic, all-male, Jesuit, college preparatory school, Fordham Prep’s mission is to inspire young
men to re ect, to question, to learn, to pray, to love, to serve and to lead. Since 1841, we have based our
challenging curriculum and pursuit of human and academic excellence on a foundation of Catholic faith
and principles. We seek to be one community created from a broad spectrum of ethnic, racial, geographic
and socioeconomic backgrounds. We strive to include quali ed students of limited nancial resources
by providing substantial nancial assistance. Our faculty and sta dedicate themselves to a caring and
dynamic interaction with students both inside and outside the classroom, a characteristic of Jesuit
education for over 450 years. We educate our students to be men for others: spiritually motivated,
intellectually accomplished and committed to promoting justice.
