My two sons are proud alumni of the Hive. Their years at Benedict's have positively impacted the men the have become today.

I am so grateful for what SBP has given me. I pray that the community continues to shape young people (my son included) and instill in them the grit and compassion that has been a hallmark of the Gray Bee tradition for more than a century.

The Hive is Home.

In honor of Joe Stypa

Back in the 1970's, my best friend's father, Joe Stypa, would tell us about his experiences at St. Benedict's. When I decided to come out of retirement and teach, the only place I applied was St. Benedict's. As the son of a Holocaust survivor who taught in Newark, this is the place I need to be.

A place that’s been my home since 1992.

The students and staff are such an inspiration. Wish you could clone yourselves.

St. Benedict's Prep has an incredible community that provides a nurturing and enriching environment for my children. The school focuses on holistic development, ensuring that students not only excel academically but also grow emotionally and socially. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, offering personalized attention to each student. They encourage curiosity and foster a love for learning through engaging lessons and activities. The school's small class sizes allow for more interaction and a stronger bond between students and teachers. Additionally, St. Benedict's Prep offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, arts, and community service programs. These opportunities help my children develop new skills, build confidence, and make lasting friendships. The supportive community of parents and staff collaborates closely, creating a strong network that benefits the students. Regular communication and involvement ensure that parents can stay engaged in their children's education and contribute to the school's growth. Overall, the sense of community at St. Benedict's Prep plays a vital role in nurturing my children’s development and success.

Proud alumnus. And more proud thanks to all of you.

Because St. Benedict’s is a school like no other.

In memory of Bill Petrick

St. Benedict’s and the community played a huge role in my life and I am forever grateful for the friends and family I made. Thank you.

There are places you pass through, and there are places that stay with you forever, this is one of them. Thank you!

Whatever hurts my brother hurts me!

From 1985-1989, SBP worked to make my husband the strong, undeterred man that he is today. And now, my son is beginning the same journey (with some of the very same influencers - such as Father Ed and their freshman basketball coach, Coach Badger). I’m grateful for the SBP influence. It truly takes a village.

The prep is an island and a refuge in the midst of a turbulent sea.

Thank you for your services to our boys and girls.

I was a Benedictine Volunteer from St. John's University (MN) in 2010-11. SBP has had a profound impact on my life. Thank you!

I am so inspired by the efforts of Father Edwin, the Monks, and all faculty/staff/students who make St. Ben's such a remarkable success story.

The Benedict community means a lot to me and especially my son Lucas S. It is a beautiful community where you can truly feel God’s grace and presence. Being part of it has strengthened my son’s faith and reminds him how powerful it is to walk with others who share the same love for God.
