Admissions Overview
BJP strengthened my conscience. Some people like to defer responsibility because it’s not in their job description, but ultimately it’s all our responsibility to make society more equitable. When I was in school, I never thought an engineer could look like me, so now I have a responsibility to set an example for students of color today.
Chris Ferreira, BJP Alumni
BJP taught me to ‘pay it forward’ and be the best person I can be. You may not think that you’re impacting someone by doing the simplest thing for them, but you don’t know.
Kimberley Philander, BJP Alumni
There are few jobs or vocations more honorable, more necessary, and more consequential for the well-being of a nation, than to educate our children. To take a child by the hand and lead him or her down the path of knowledge and empathy for others is a holy act. Indeed, it may well be the holiest of acts.
Fr. Ralph Rivera, S.J., Chaplain
As a graduate of a Jesuit high school (Brooklyn Prep) and Jesuit College (Holy Cross) I saw in BJP the opportunity to bring the value of the Jesuitical love of learning to the middle school level. Because BJP is dedicated to reaching children of families who otherwise could not afford the mentoring and small class approach of a private school, I am eager as a trustee to help raise funds for its survival and growth. The path to equality in all classes begins, I believe, with an education built on strong fundamentals and, in BJP’s case, the support of others more fortunate.
Fred Bleakley, Trustee
I love BJP because...we learn how to become leaders for the future, which is an opportunity that not everyone gets.
