Leadership at Fordham Prep

Fordham Prep's leadership team brings decades of collective experience and a deeply collaborative approach to guiding our 185-year-old school. Together, we blend proven wisdom with innovative thinking, ensuring Fordham Prep continues to grow while staying true to its Catholic Jesuit identity.

Welcome from Fordham Prep’s 
President, Anthony Day

Welcome to Fordham Prep!

At Fordham Preparatory School, we embrace and celebrate our Catholic Jesuit identity. This tradition, which dates back nearly five centuries, is at the heart of everything we do. Our Jesuit values compel us to educate young men not only for academic success but also for the greater glory of God. We strive to develop men of conscience, compassion, and action, who are committed to justice and putting the needs of others before their own. It is this spiritual foundation that nurtures the character of our Rams, shaping them into leaders who are not only knowledgeable but also wise.

Our commitment to a well-rounded educational experience is unwavering. We believe that an authentic education extends beyond the classroom, encompassing intellectual, physical, and spiritual development. Our curriculum is designed to encourage a global perspective, fostering an understanding of the diverse world in which we live. Through rigorous academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and service opportunities, we prepare our students to navigate an increasingly complex world with confidence and integrity. At Fordham Prep, we cultivate minds that are inquisitive, hearts that are compassionate, and hands ready to serve.

As a school anchored in the Bronx, we take great pride in our connection to this vibrant community. The Bronx is more than just our location; it is an integral part of our identity. We are committed to serving our neighbors and contributing positively to the fabric of this borough. Our students are encouraged to engage with the Bronx community through service and partnerships, understanding that their education is not isolated from the world around them but deeply intertwined with it. 

Our traditions and history are a source of immense pride for all of us at Fordham Prep. For over 180 years, we have been dedicated to providing an education that honors our past while preparing our students for the future. We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us, drawing strength from their legacy and inspiration from their achievements. Our traditions are not relics of the past but living practices that continue to shape the character and spirit of our community.

Let us remain steadfast in our mission to educate young men who are intellectually competent, open to growth, loving, religious, committed to doing justice, and striving for wellness of mind and body. Together, let us continue to build on the rich legacy of Fordham Prep, ensuring that we remain a beacon of excellence and a force for good in the world.

Go Rams!
