Devon Preparatory School

Philosophy and Mission Statement

Devon Preparatory School is a private Roman Catholic college preparatory school, owned and conducted by the Piarist Fathers, for young men in grades six through twelve. The Piarist Order, founded nearly four centuries ago by St. Joseph Calasanctius, is dedicated to the education of youth. The Devon Prep community of Piarists, lay teachers, administrators, staff, parents, alumni, and friends is committed to the intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development of all its students.

 Small classes and a focused liberal arts curriculum encourage intellectual curiosity and creativity on the part of the students in their search for truth through the pursuit of knowledge.  A diverse extracurricular program promotes social growth and nurtures leadership, individual skills and personal interests.  Devon Prep’s safe and supportive atmosphere provides an environment in which students can confidently excel academically within a Christian culture which fosters a love of God, a positive self-image, and a respect for others.

Guided by the tradition of a Piarist education rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, Devon Prep graduates are prepared to be responsible, compassionate leaders who serve God by providing service to humanity.
