Fordham Preparatory School

We invite you to join leaders and alumni and parents of Fordham Prep for an enriching journey to Spain.  The school draws on a rich heritage tracing back to a young man in northern Spain who, in the 16th century, began to respond to inner stirrings to respond to the challenges of his age.  St. Ignatius of Loyola formed one of the most influential religious orders of the Roman Catholic Church.  His vision had a profound impact on the development of education – particularly schools that inspire young men and women to develop minds, spirits and souls in extraordinary ways.  Our program includes visits to places that were pivotal to St. Ignatius’ own journey – Loyola, Xavier, Montserrat, Manresa and Barcelona.  Our program weaves together historical, cultural, and religious sites and activities with time to explore and savor the land, customs and food of this majestic land. Come join us.
