St. Francis Prep is one of New York State’s biggest Christian private schools with enviable enrollment and an impressive minority representation at 44%. The school also happens to be one of the oldest institutions in New York’s history, having originated in the 19th century. St. Francis Prep boasts an extraordinary range of extracurricular activities on offer. Apart from its sports clubs, the non-scholastic options range from cultural groups such as Egyptian and West Indian, to literary, such as The Seraph, to clubs and activities focusing on various real-world engagement with various disciplines and social progress issues. Examples include Drug & Alcohol Prevention Team, Model UN, iPalette Club, Liturgy societies, Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers, Save Our Planet, Rock & Roll Club, Science Olympiad, Trial of the Century, and Urban Challenge. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2019, the school started #TerrierSTARProgram, or Student Tuition Assistance and Relief, in a bid to make sure that none of its families affected by the lockdown conditions were forced to leave the school. The school also allowed deferred payments for the next calendar year in order to ease the burden of the families affected. In the first year, nearly $2 million in fee payment was deferred, with the school preparing to deal with the deferments with either intervention or underwriting the fees.
