Oratory Preparatory School, commonly known as Oratory Prep, is a Roman Catholic college preparatory day school for boys in grades 7-12, located in Summit, in Union County, New Jersey, United States, approximately 19 miles (31 km) west of Manhattan. The school is located one block away from the Kent Place School and is in close proximity to Summit High School.
The school is associated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. Oratory Preparatory School is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools and has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1973.
As of the 2013-14 school year, the school had an enrollment of 318 students and 35.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.0:1.
The school was founded in 1907 as Carlton Academy, with grades 4-12. Most of the students lived on campus. Due to the school's relatively small size, students in a given grade are not individually ranked. Oratory is home to young men from over 70 towns in the New York metro area. Tuition and fees for the 2015-16 academic year was $19,900, not including transportation, books, and meals. Financial aid and scholarships are offered to more than 30% of Oratory families. Each year 100% of Oratory seniors are accepted to four-year colleges.
In 2015, the United States Department of Education announced that Oratory had been recognized with the National Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence, the Education Department's highest honor. Oratory was one of 15 schools in the state and one of two private secondary schools across the nation to receive this distinction.
