Delbarton is one of the finest all-boys Catholic college preparatory schools in the United States because our Benedictine Catholic character and values undergird all we do. All who form this learning community believe God calls them to develop young men to their highest potential and purpose, intellectually, physically, spiritually and morally-and they do just that, with earnestness, humility and true welcome for all.

At Delbarton, you’ll work hard—and you’ll know you are better for it. You’ll think. And you’ll do. And you’ll think again. Here, learning is action, and it will engage your entire being, mind, body and soul.

Our exceptional faculty dynamically blends tradition and innovation to create an inspiring college preparatory experience informed by faith and values. As a Benedictine Catholic school, Delbarton shares the longest tradition in Western education, dating back nearly 15 centuries. We are rooted in the enormous collective and inherited wisdom of our cultural past, yet firmly embrace the necessary innovations that call us to boldly engage today’s challenges.

College Prep

The college journey begins when you enter Delbarton. Freshman families receive an introductory briefing on college admissions from our staff of four College Counselors at the midpoint of Freshman year. All students take the PSAT (Sophomore and Junior years) and PreACT (Sophomore year) at Delbarton during the school day. They begin to meet individually with one of four College Counselors starting in their Junior year. 20 hour SAT and ACT prep workshops, taught by experienced Delbarton teachers, are provided to all interested Delbarton students at no extra cost.
