MISSION STATEMENT 

Inspired by the life of Saint Joseph Calasanz and the Piarist tradition, Devon Preparatory School is a Catholic college preparatory institution dedicated to the holistic education of young men for life. Through creating experiences that encourage reflection, personal growth, and a lifelong dedication to serving others with integrity and compassion, Devon Preparatory School is committed to fostering the virtues of charity, humility, patience, community and honesty in its students.

OUR BELIEFS 

• Every student is a unique gift from God, called to grow intellectually, spiritually, and morally.

• A Catholic education grounded in the Gospel and the Piarist tradition nurtures faith, character, and a lifelong commitment to service.

• Faith and knowledge are inseparable; true learning happens when academic excellence is pursued alongside spiritual formation.

• Education must develop the whole person — mind, body, and soul — through rigorous academics, athletics, the arts, and community life.

• Cultivating values such as charity, humility, patience, honesty, and community prepares students to be responsible leaders and compassionate members of society.

• Students flourish best in a supportive and inclusive environment that respects their dignity and encourages personal vocation.

• Partnership with families and the wider community is essential for the holistic growth and success of our students, and our success as a school

• Continuous reflection, growth, and adaptation ensure that our educational ministry remains relevant and faithful to our mission.
