\nOur Jesuit Identity  \nIgnatius was born in 1491 at the family castle of Loyola in the Basque region of Spain. In his own words, Ignatius“was given to the follies of the world; and what he enjoyed most was warlike sport, with a great and foolish desire to win fame.” At Pamplona in 1521, Ignatius’ search for fame ended when a French cannon ball severely injured his legs. A long, complicated convalescence contributed to a period of soul searching and reflection; Ignatius discovered God at work in his life, and his desire for fame turned into a desire to dedicate himself to God.  \nAfter time spent as a pilgrim and a process of conversion to loving service of God, Ignatius returned to school. He eventually studied in Paris for seven years, spending his free time preaching and sharing his insights about the ways of God. Attracted by his experience of God’s love, several men joined Ignatius. This small group of companions would eventually grow into the Society of Jesus, an order of Catholic priests and brothers dedicated to service for the good of souls.  \nWhile the original purposes of the Society did not include education, it was not long before Ignatius was requested to include local boys in his schools for men entering the Society. The first Jesuit school opened in 1548 in Messina, Sicily. By the time of Ignatius’ death there were over 40 Jesuit schools, within forty years there were 245 schools. Today there are more than 2,000 Jesuit educational institutions in 56 countries around the world.  \nFordham Prep is one of the 60 high schools in the United States sponsored by the Society of Jesus. This family of  \nJesuit schools has an educational tradition of over 450 years, a tradition that incorporates methods from a variety of sources, contributing to the intellectual, social, moral and religious formation of students. Jesuit education includes a religious dimension that permeates all aspects of the curriculum; it is world affirming, promoting dialogue between faith and culture. Jesuit education insists on individual care and concern for each person; it emphasizes active participation by the student and an openness to growth and life-long learning. Jesuit schools promote a realistic knowledge of the world; encourage an awareness, love and acceptance of self; seek to form men and women for others, particularly in concern for the poor.  \nSince 1841, when New York’s Archbishop Hughes founded a school in the Rose Hill section of what was then still part of Westchester, young men at Fordham have studied Latin, Greek, English, Math and Science. The youngest students attended a division of the school now known as Fordham Prep. Since legally separating from the University in 1972, Fordham Prep has occupied its current location on the Rose Hill Campus.  \nFordham Preparatory School   \nPhilosophy  \nFordham Preparatory School is an all-male, Jesuit, Catholic, college preparatory school. As a Jesuit school, our commitment to education is shaped by the spirituality and pedagogical tradition of the Society of Jesus, founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius of Loyola. This heritage stresses the development of excellence in the whole person: intellectual, religious, social, emotional and physical.
