Georgetown Preparatory School, Jesuit boarding school in North Bethesda, United States.
Georgetown Preparatory School is a Jesuit boys' boarding and day school in North Bethesda that serves students in grades nine through twelve. The campus includes classrooms, dormitories, playing fields, and a chapel spread across wooded grounds in Montgomery County.
The institution was founded in the late 18th century in Washington D.C. by a Catholic bishop and moved to its current location after World War I. The relocation allowed for expansion of facilities and development into a full boarding school.
The school follows Jesuit educational principles that emphasize formation of mind, body, and spirit through daily routines and community life. Students gather for common meals and shared activities that reinforce responsibility and service to others.
The grounds sit in a quiet area outside the city center and are accessible by major roads. Visitors should arrange contact in advance, as access to facilities is typically limited to scheduled appointments.
The institution remains the only Jesuit school in the United States offering a boarding program for male adolescents. This status has drawn families from across the country for decades.
