SCRANTON PREP DOES NOT RANK ITS STUDENTS

We believe that the minute fractional differences between positions of rank do not significantly distinguish one student from another. We are convinced that the concept of rank does not accurately reflect the selective nature of our student body, our rigorous college preparatory curriculum and individual achievement; and therefore, rank could be misleading as an indication of a student's true academic quality and ability to perform successfully in college. In addition, the dropping of rank is consistent with our philosophy which encourages individual improvement without forcing students to compete against each other and to compare themselves to one another.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

For the 2020-2021 academic year, Scranton Preparatory School offered students the options of a blended learning model where a student would meet with teachers in-person for half of each day and meet teachers virtually for the other half of the day or a fully virtual option where the student would attend all classes virtually.

Due to adherence to strict Covid-19 pandemic safety protocols, there was very little disruption to the academic year. Although midterm and final exams were not held, students continued to be held to the highest academic standards. Scranton Preparatory School plans to hold in person classes for the 2021-2022 academic year.
