A Welcome Message from the President

Welcome to Fairfield Prep and our virtual home! These pages will offer you a window into the vibrant life of our Catholic Jesuit community.

At Prep, you will find young men who are becoming Ignatian men for others.  In our Jesuit philosophy of education for the whole person, we urge our boys to grow in intellectual competence, moral conscience and compassion. The Prep experience encompasses the intellectual, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth of our students.

Fairfield Prep is a division of Fairfield University, and we offer unparalleled facilities and resources for 21st century Jesuit education. Most importantly, the “Prep Brotherhood” provides a nurturing environment in which our young men gain confidence, and support one another on their life journey. Fairfield Prep becomes a home away from home for hundreds of boys each year.

For just over 80 years, thousands of boys have been transformed in the crucible of Prep’s Jesuit and Ignatian model of education. And while our graduates are high achievers in terms of college acceptances, artistic performances, and athletic awards, the true mark of Jesuit excellence is our graduate at graduation and his true dedication to leadership and service in society.

As a proud father of four boys in a family that has been transformed by Jesuit education, I can personally attest to the power of a Fairfield Prep education. We hope you and your family will join us in this great Prep tradition. May God continue to bless you abundantly.

In peace and thanks,

Mr. Christian J. Cashman P ’15, CP ‘23
