Don Bosco Preparatory High School (Don Bosco Prep) is a private, Roman Catholic high school for young men in ninth through twelfth grades. Founded in 1915 as a boarding school for Polish boys, by the Salesians of Don Bosco, a religious community of priests and brothers, the school is situated on a 35-acre (14 ha) campus in Ramsey, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The school is operated under the suprvision of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.
Located in northern New Jersey, approximately 2 mi (3 km) from the New Jersey/New York border, the school draws students from a wide geographical region, including Bergen, Passaic, Morris, Essex and Sussex counties in New Jersey as well as surrounding counties in New York.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 871 students and 60.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.3:1. The school's student body was 86.1% White, 5.7% Hispanic, 5.7% Black and 2.4% Asian.
In its early days, from 1915 to 1973, Don Bosco housed resident students who lived on campus, on the upper floors of St. Johns Hall. Freshmen were in the center wing while upperclassmen stayed on the top floor in the north annex. During the 1960s, approximately 75 or 10% of the students were resident/on-campus. Resident students attended Mass each morning and were allowed to go home each weekend starting around 1963. Prior to that, weekend home visits were periodic.
