For more than 100 years, Iona Preparatory has been among the premier primary and secondary schools in the metropolitan area. Nestled on 37 acres of suburban green in New Rochelle, N.Y., and spread across two collegiate-style campuses, Iona Prep is Westchester’s only all-boys, prekindergarten through 12th grade Catholic school.
Rigorous academics with three levels of study, a personalized and comprehensive school counseling and college advisement program, unique Christian service and leadership opportunities locally, nationally and internationally, championship athletics, and an array of activities provide students with the foundation for success in college and in life. Graduates have earned over $200 million in academic, merit-based scholarships over the last eight years, including more than $36 million this past year, with 77 percent of the graduating class earning an average award of more than $55,000. The Class of 2022 will be attending such schools as Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Michigan, Notre Dame, Princeton, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
Athletically, Iona Prep is the three-time defending LoHud Sports Tom Whelan Private School of the Year and is coming off the most successful year in the school’s century of existence. The Gaels tallied seven varsity team titles, including Catholic State titles in Football and Lacrosse. Track and Field won the Westchester County Championships with the largest margin of victory in the event’s history, Wrestling won the Westchester Team Championships and had four individual Catholic State champions, and Baseball, Varsity B Basketball and Volleyball each won City Championships. That’s not counting sophomore track and field, which won State, Sectional and City Championships, and the freshman who won all but States, and the Westchester County Champion Grades 6-8 Cross-Country team; meanwhile, JV Lacrosse won its 10th consecutive league championship.
