Witty, warm, passionate, and knowledgeable, the adult community at College Prep has been one of our strengths since our founding in 1960. We are an independent coeducational secondary school created for intellectual risk-takers who want to pursue a purposeful education with kindred peers. We prepare students for productive, ethical lives in college and beyond by fostering a stimulating education within an atmosphere of consideration, trust, and mutual responsibility.
Today, 360 students and 80 faculty and staff aspire to live by the motto our founder, Mary Harley Jenks, selected from Vergil: Mens Conscia Recti—a mind aware of what is right. We invite you to learn more about our mission and our commitment to an equitable community where everyone belongs. We look forward to meeting you.

College Prep cultivates a school environment in which all members of the community feel valued, safe, and part of something greater than themselves. Employees work to understand the developmental needs of adolescents, support their emerging identities, and promote their healthy growth. They embrace the responsibility to provide a clear and consistent structure for students and to engage them in conversation about our community standards. Employees must be alert to the power imbalance in their relationships with students, and be especially attuned to ways in which others may perceive their words or actions given that imbalance.
This policy is intended to establish clear expectations that support positive and appropriate relationships, protect students from harm, and help promote appropriate professional boundaries among students, school employees, current volunteers, and contractors. For purposes of this policy, personal and professional boundaries (“Boundaries”) are limits that govern appropriate roles, behavior and interactions between students and school employees, current volunteers, and contractors; among and between students; and among and between adults employed by, currently volunteering for, or under contract with the School. A violation of an individual’s personal/professional Boundaries may occur when conduct exceeds appropriate role expectations, creates an appearance of impropriety, compromises supervision, or undermines the School’s obligation to provide a safe and supportive learning environment.
