My son and my daughter are St. Francis Prep Alumni. Each stated after their first week in college (Hofstra and LIU CW POST) "I`m so glad you made the sacrifice and sent me to Prep - they taught me to think and to think outside the box! I`m so prepared for college, for life." Prep has a rigorous academic program, loving, caring, and encouraging teachers, and many co-curricular activities and sports choices. My grandchildren tell me their parents insist St. Francis Prep is the only choice for High School. My oldest grandchild, a Sophomore, is very competitive and LOVES St. Francis Prep! It is a blessing that Prep has become a family tradition-well worth the sacrifice!
