The Philosophy of "mens sana in corpore sano" - "a healthy mind in a healthy body" has long been a part of Prep education. Preppers strive for excellence in athletics as well as academics. In striving for success, the members of the Prep coaching staff endeavor to instill the qualities of leadership, loyalty, and sportsmanship. The student athlete learns to cope with winning and losing - to be humble in victory and proud in defeat.
All of the Prep's athletic teams compete in the Philadelphia Catholic League (16 schools) with most of them participating in the eight-member Southern Division.
Fall: Cross Country, Football (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen), Golf and Soccer (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen).
Winter: Basketball (varsity, junior varsity and freshmen), Bowling (varsity and junior varsity), Indoor Track, Swimming and Wrestling (varsity and junior varsity).
Spring: Baseball (varsity, junior varsity, and freshman), Crew, Lacrosse, Outdoor Track and Tennis.
In addition, the Prep offers a number of sports at the club level including Ice Hockey (Varsity AAA, Varsity A, JV) Rugby (A side, B side, U-16) and Ultimate.
