Our Academic Program
The academic program at HAP takes place in the morning. Students cycle through three classes designed to keep them engaged, sharpen learned skills, and challenge them to develop new skills. This work will not only help them be successful when they enter 8th grade but also when they sit for standardized admissions exams, like the TACHS or HSPT, in the fall.
Unique Experiences
The balance of academics in the morning and the choice of sports, activities and other enrichments in the afternoon is conducive to an educational environment that strives to foster the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis (care for the individual).
Service at HAP
Fordham Prep strives to produce “men for others” and service is a required of all students. HAP participants are also asked to spend some time during the program in the service of others.
In 2025 HAP participants raised nearly $900 and assembled 350 hygiene kits to be donated to Part of the Solution (P.O.T.S).
