Excellence in Teaching and Learning
Excellence in teaching and learning has been a hallmark of Jesuit schools since the founding of the rst
school in 1547. Cultivation of the intellect, which is at the heart of this academic enterprise, has always
been recognized as a means for uncovering truth, discovering meaning, building character and striving
for the magis. Fordham Prep’s emphasis on excellence in teaching and learning is re ected in the careful
selection of faculty and students, the design of curricula balancing the humanities and sciences, and
our commitment to an educational program which responds to and anticipates the challenges of an
increasingly complex global and technological society.
