Meet Our Faculty
Fostering Independence with Prep Period
As freshmen, Crusaders quickly learn that the prep period built into their schedules is not designed for taking breaks.
Successful students use this designated time to meet with faculty, study and collaborate with classmates, and get ahead of their coursework. Over the course of their study at Eustace Prep, students cultivate time management skills that guide them through high school, college, and beyond. Our Mission & Philosophy
A College-Ready Curriculum
At Eustace Prep, “college-ready” goes beyond course material. With offerings that include the Edmund Optics Shadow Program, independent study in music, and advanced STEM subject matter like the FIRST Robotics program, our faculty strive to ensure that every Crusader enters higher education with skills that place them ahead of their peers from other private and Catholic schools.
Most commonly cited by parents and alumni is the intentional focus on writing structure and discipline. Crusaders graduate with advanced rhetorical experience that allows them to accelerate the transition to university-level research assignments with confidence and poise. The Eustace Curriculum
Honors and Advanced Placement (AP)
A selection of 34 honors and AP courses challenge Eustace Prep students to learn and demonstrate skills that will set them apart from other college applicants. Our carefully designed curriculum allows students to dive deep into mathematics, language arts, and the sciences — while also giving them options to explore college-level material in areas including music theory, macroeconomics, politics, and more.
Students who demonstrate exceptional achievement may also be invited to the Father Marco Martorelli, S.A.C. Chapter of the National Honor Society, where they will exemplify the Crusader commitment to academic and social responsibility. Explore Honors & AP Courses
