Seton Hall Prep provides busing to those students whose towns do not do so, or who are not adequately served by public transportation. According to state law, towns that provide busing for their own public school students must also do so for its citizens who attend private school, unless there are so few students from the town that no bus contractor will take the job. In that case, towns must provide reimbursement to such students for their transportation. The amount reimbursed for 2015-2016 will be $884. Towns that do not provide busing for their own public school students are not required to reimburse private school students. F RES H M A N F OR A D A Y A p p l i c at i o n P r o c e s s Spend a day shadowing a Seton Hall Prep freshman! The Freshman for a Day Program is a great way for a prospective student to experience The Prep for the first time. This unique opportunity is available to 8th graders from October 1 until February 5 and open to 7th graders from March 1 until May 20. In order for a candidate to be considered for admission to the freshman year (9th grade) at Seton Hall Prep, the following requirements should be met by January 4, 2016— Seton Hall Prep provides buses for our students who come from towns that do not bus. Currently, the school runs seven buses that begin their routes around 7:00 and arrive at school beginning at 8:00 am. Routes vary from year to year, but the same general areas are served. These include: the North-West Essex area, Union County, Clifton-Montclair, North-East Morris (Lincoln Park area) and Wayne. In order to provide as personal a visit as possible, there is a limit of eight visitors per day. If a student visits on a Monday, Tueday, Wednesday or Friday, he should arrive in the Admission Office at 8:30 am. If the student visits on a Thursday, he should be in the Admission Office at 9:15 am. Each visitor should wear a dress shirt, tie and khaki-type pants with shoes (no sneakers). Headmaster’s Plan A $250 discount on tuition is applied to the account of those who make full payment by July 30. RT 80 Statement of Non-Discriminatory Policy The Roman Catholic elementary and secondary schools of the Archdiocese of Newark admit students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. These do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of the educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. The above policy is in keeping with Internal Revenue Procedure 75-50 and is in accordance with Section 0602 and 0603 of the Administrative Manual of the School Office of the Archdiocese of Newark. PAS S 87 AIC BLOOMFIELD AV LE R OCK AV The New Jersey Transit #73 bus, running from Newark’s Penn Station to Livingston Mall, passes immediately in front of the school on Northfield Ave. Other bus routes (#71 and #21) leave the students at Main Street and Northfield Ave., with only a short walk to the campus.

Beck Foundation Scholarship. Families complete the same process as that for financial aid. Similar efforts are made to help as many families as demonstrate financial need. RT 10 LIVINGSTON AV Applications for Financial Aid are sent to incoming freshmen on the day of their Entrance Test. If the completed application is returned to the Admission Office by the appropriate date, a decision will be included with the acceptance letter. Returning students will be given applications in March. Final decisions on aid are announced in the second week of May each year. Every attempt is made to help as many families as possible that have legitimate need. RT 2 Seton Hall Prep is able to offer limited financial assistance to its students, based on demonstrated financial need. Currently about 40% of the Prep’s families receive some assistance with their tuition payments. AV Financial Aid New Jersey Transit train and bus routes are convenient for Seton Hall Prep students. The Morristown-Gladstone railroad line serves the Prep, dropping students off at Mountain Station in South Orange. The school provides a shuttle bus from this station, departing at 8:25 am. In the afternoon the same shuttle returns students to Mountain Station at various times. To make an appointment to be a Freshman for a Day, please visit www.shp.org/ffad and book it online. Each visitor may also bring an 8th grade friend along who may also be interested in experiencing The Prep for a day. The two can be paired and are able to spend the day together while visiting. Both boys should schedule appointments before visiting. Each visitor may also request a particular current Prep freshman to be his host for the day when making an appointment. The host must be a freshman. If a visitor does not know a freshman whom he would like as his host, we will assign someone to him—someone who shares a common interest or who is from the same hometown. Freshmen for the Day will be given a lunch voucher from the Admisson Office. Visitors are welcome to supplement this voucher with their own money or even choose to bring their lunch to SHP on the day they visit. Visitors will also receive a pen and a padfolio. The visiting prospective students should be picked up in the Admission Office at 2:50 pm.

AP courses and their corresponding examinations are developed by national Development Committees of college professors and secondary school teachers in each discipline. Advanced Placement Examination grades are reported on a five-point scale as follows: 5=extremely well-qualified; 4=well-qualified; 3=qualified; 2=possibly qualified; 1=no recommendation. For most subjects, AP grades of 4 and 5 are comparable to college grades of “A”, and grades of 3 and 2 are comparable to college grades of “B” and “C”, respectively. In general, an AP grade of 3 or higher indicates sufficient mastery of course content to allow exemption from a college course comparable to the AP course, placement in the succeeding college course, or credit. Credit and placement policies are determined by each college and university. [–from The College Board ] Advanced Placement Tests: Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Computer Science A, Economics–Micro, English Language, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, Human Geography, Latin, Music Theory, Physics, US Government and Politics, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, Statistics, Studio Art-Drawing, US History, World History.

Farley Seton Scholars Program Applicants who score in the top 5% on the Seton Hall Prep Entrance Exam, who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement in grammar or middle school, and who are willing to assume the mantle of academic leadership will typically receive an invitation to enroll as a member of the Seton Scholars Program. This program is designed for The Prep’s most gifted students, to provide them with exciting challenges and opportunities in order to better position them for admission to the most competitive universities in the country. A complete description of the program is available online at www.shp.org. Learning Assistance Program Seton Hall Prep offers limited services to highly motivated students with mild learning differences to help them meet the demands of our rigorous college preparatory curriculum. The school’s Learning Assistance Program does not provide what is commonly known in public school environments as a “Learning Resource Program” or a “Special Education Program,” nor does it offer modifications to the normal demands and expectations of Seton Hall Prep’s curriculum. Common services provided are extra time on tests, skill development in organization and time management, and preferential classroom seating. All SHP applicants must meet the same standards for admission and continue to meet the same standards once here as the rest of our student body. In order to be considered for admission, a complete and current copy of the applicant’s IEP must be received by the Admission Office prior to testing. Applicant interviews will be conducted on campus during the week of November 30–December 4. As such, all applicants for this program are strongly encouraged to sit for either of the November test dates. Spiritual Program Seton Hall Prep’s vision is based on a threefold framework for Catholic Youth Ministry: to empower young men to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, to draw young men to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community, and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person. Campus Ministry is conducted with students, for students, and by students. The three pillars of the program are Liturgy, Retreat, and Service Learning for Social Justice. Student Activities Co-Curricular P r o g r am In keeping with our philosophy of holistic education, The Prep offers a wide and varied co-curricular activities program to give each student the opportunity for personal expression and social involvement in the school. It is our goal for every student to become involved in some aspect of our activities program. The activities program is designed around the concept that each Prep student should be able to pursue his own interests and passions. In this spirit, students themselves have organized and founded a variety of clubs and organizations. Some meet using a highly structured format, while others are purely recreational. Therefore, our activities program is very much alive, growing and developing in tandem with the current student body; the clubs and organizations that are active during any given year represent the interests and passions of that particular generation of The Prep. • Artistic Appreciation and Performance– Broadway Club, Cinema Club, Music Ministry, Brass Ensemble, Concert Band, Fall Drama Production, Spring Musical, C-Tonians, Jazz Band, Guitar Club • Cultural Clubs– Gaelic Society, Chinese Club, Japanese Club, Italian Club, Cultures of the World Club, West Indian Organization, Spanish Club, Museums Club • Professional Organizations– Future Business Leaders, Future Lawyers, Future Medical Professionals, Ecology Club • Interscholastic Competition– Chess Team/Club, Debate Team, Forensics Team, Quiz Bowl Team/Club, Mock Trial Team, Model UN, Science Olympiad Team • Recreational Activities– Ski Club, Fishing Club, Crew Club, Anime Club, Pirate Adventure Club, Pirate Nation • Publications– Pirate (newspaper), Tower (yearbook), Spectrum (literary magazine) • Student Organizations– National Honor Society, Student Council, The Ambassadors, Peer Leadership, Tutoring Program, Spanish Honor Society, Math Honor Society, Autism Big Brothers Interscholastic At h l e t i c s Athletics can play a very important role in the development of the individual.
