Welcome to the Iona Preparatory School website and, more importantly, welcome to the Iona Prep Family. Iona Prep is a family
in all true respects, and it is a family centered on the values of the Christian Brothers and the charism of Blessed Edmund
Rice. Since 1916, the Prep has embodied the excellence that characterizes a Christian Brothers' education, and this education
has influenced the lives of generations of men. The young men who have been educated at Iona Prep have distinguished
themselves as leaders in their communities and in their careers. Their leadership reflects the strong academic skills that
they developed at Iona, along with high standards of morality and ethics - the true hallmark of a Christian Brothers'
education. Iona Prep is very proud that our alumni not only excel in their respective careers, but also embrace the vision of
Edmund Rice in their roles as fathers, husbands, religious leaders and community leaders.
Today, Iona Prep continues to fulfill this vision and develop young men who are exceptionally well prepared for college while
possessing the moral core necessary to be a leader in a society that often does not promote Catholic values. Our Christian
Brother education, which permeates the entire program at Iona Prep, is counter-cultural. Iona Prep educates young men at a
time in which self-promotion, consumerism, selfishness and personal gratification are the most visible values that adolescents
see. In contrast, the Essential Elements of a Christian Brothers' education defines an education which gives our young men the courage, moral strength and intellectual tools to be leaders in a world which often undermines Catholic values. Our faculty,
both religious and lay, model sacrifice, selflessness, dedication to Christ and service to others on a daily basis. In short,
Iona Prep, as an institution of believers loyal to the charism of Edmund Rice, strives to live the Gospel message.
Iona Prep is a school with a delightful, warm and diverse student body. Our young men and alumni reflect wide cultural and
economic backgrounds, and it is this diversity which makes Iona Prep such a rich and unique environment in which to learn and
develop, both spiritually and intellectually. If you are a member of the Iona Prep alumni body, please make an effort to stop
by the campus - we would love to welcome you back. If you are a prospective student or parent, please contact our Admissions
Office and schedule a visit. All of us at Iona Prep look forward to welcoming you to the Iona Prep Family.
