Brophy at a Glance

When I first stepped on campus, I could see the love, care, drive, and passion that defines Brophy. I could tell this place was special, and I wanted to become a person with those qualities.

Founded in 1928, Brophy is a Jesuit, Catholic college preparatory school in Phoenix dedicated to forming Men for Others. Our mission is to educate the whole person, embracing that faith is lived and learning is taken seriously.

Our open, collegiate feel, is grounded by a close-knit community where every student is known and supported.

Key Highlights

The formation of Men for Others is the hallmark of a Jesuit education. At Brophy, this permeates every aspect of a student’s life. A Brophy man comes to embrace his responsibility to live his life in the service of others.

Brophy is part of a worldwide network of more than 2,300 Jesuit educational institutions. The 91 secondary and pre-secondary Jesuit schools in the United States are part of the Jesuit Schools Network. 

Brophy draws students from across the Valley, with over 110 feeder schools represented by the Class of 2030. Students arrive at Brophy to be challenged, but they stay because they find meaning and connection. Last year, Brophy awarded more than $6.5 million in financial aid. Approximately one-third of Brophy students receive need-verified financial aid.

Our Jesuit Principles:
AMDG

The Meaning: AMDG (Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, Latin for “For the Greater Glory of God”) is the motto of the Jesuits and flows directly from St. Ignatius’ First Principle and Foundation, which teaches that our purpose in life is to know, love, and serve God—and that all things in our lives should lead us toward that end. 

The Purpose: The Ignatian understanding of the magis or “the more” challenges us to seek not simply more activity, but the deeper and more generous response that leads us closer to God’s greater glory. At Brophy, pursuing the magis by living AMDG serves as a daily reminder and a lifelong aspiration. 

Men for Others

The Meaning: The phrase was articulated by Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, who defined the formation of “men for others” as the primary objective of Jesuit education. He envisioned graduates who live not for themselves, but for God—believing that authentic love of God must lead to a deep and active love of neighbor. 

The Purpose: We embrace Arrupe’s challenge to form students who live a faith that does justice, young men who cannot even conceive of a love of God that does not include love for the least of their neighbors. Our students should embody lives that are not meant to be preserved or protected, but given away—poured out in service, solidarity, and love. 

Cura Personalis 

The Meaning: Cura personalis (care for the whole person) is the foundation that makes both Men for Others and AMDG possible. To care for the whole person is to help each young man become the fullest version of the child of God he was created to be. It also means fostering a community of belonging, where every person feels seen, known, and valued.

The Purpose: At Brophy, cura personalis means attending to the full formation of each student—not just academically, but emotionally, morally, spiritually, and physically. It begins with the belief that each person is a unique reflection of God, and that true education recognizes this sacred dignity. 
 

Our Commitments:
Graduate at Graduation 

The Profile of the Graduate at Graduation, or Grad at Grad, is the core commitment we make to  all our students. It names five essential characteristics of a Brophy graduate. These traits are not just aspirations for our students, they are the foundation for how we shape our curriculum, design our programs, and make operational decisions. The Grad at Grad serves as a charter for the full life of the school, ensuring that everything we do forms students for lives of faith, purpose, and service. 

  • Open to Growth
  • Intellectually Competent
  • Religious
  • Loving
  • Committed to Doing Justice. 
Student-Forward Culture

Brophy students are empowered to take purposeful risks--academically, spiritually, and socially. Faculty, coaches, and mentors take every opportunity to put students in positions of leadership to help them build a sense of confidence to take on life's biggest challenges. Students are expected to put themselves forward, knowing that being open to growth is about pushing beyond what is comfortable in pursuit of the magis.

Community of Belonging

Brophy offers students an atmosphere of rigor and excellence alongside the opportunity to form an intimate relationship with God. We believe all of creation is a reflection of God's loving presence which leads us to lives of generous service. We are dedicated to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds who have the potential and desire to maximize their God-given gifts. We strive to create safe, welcoming environments that maximize academic, emotional, and spiritual growth, in harmony with a student's own curiosity, capability, and commitment so that every Brophy student feels a complete and whole sense of belonging.
 


The Brophy Experience: 

Brophy College Preparatory is experienced as a fully immersive Jesuit, Catholic institution that fosters the integration of scholarship and spirituality. We entrust our students with mutual responsibility, invite them into leadership, and encourage them to take ownership of their growth into Men for Others.

Our students experience our faculty as personally invested in their formation. Their peers are not just friends, classmates and teammates, but a lifelong brotherhood. We partner with our students’ parents to develop articulate and compassionate men with a strong sense of self-worth, a thirst for justice and a distinct ability to critically consider and thoughtfully discern the complexities of our world.  

We value tradition alongside innovation, boldness with humility, and faith and reason strengthened by curiosity and commitment. Inside a welcoming environment — from the classroom to activities to spiritual reflection — we empower our students. Brophy men are challenged to reflect on their formation and responsibilities to develop their
God-given gifts. 

Academics

The academic rigor here is real, but it pushes you to grow without becoming the only thing that defines your life. That has made me a more well-rounded student and a more present person.

AADITYA SHAH ’27

A Brophy education begins with the belief that every student has both the ability and the responsibility to engage. Guided by teachers that challenge students to push beyond what they thought possible. 

Challenging academics invite students to ask thoughtful questions, express their ideas, and learn through meaningful dialogue. Guided by dedicated teachers and rooted in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition, they develop the confidence, discipline, and intellectual curiosity to succeed in college and a lifetime of learning.

AP, honors, and advanced classes offered

Key Highlights

Brophy was among the first schools in the country to offer the AP Capstone Diploma program. This is a two-year College Board pathway that develops research, analysis, collaboration, writing and presentation skills valued by colleges worldwide. 

Brophy's block schedule creates longer class periods that encourage deeper learning. Students have more time to explore complex ideas, collaborate with classmates, complete hands-on work, and build stronger relationships.

Brophy is helping shape how schools approach artificial intelligence, emphasizing ethical use, transparency, responsibility and digital literacy. Its guidelines have drawn national attention from Jesuit schools, MIT’s Media Lab and Notre Dame’s Alliance for Catholic Education.

Faith in Action

The retreats at Brophy invited me to grow instead of forcing me to, giving me a sense of purpose and direction.

Adam Shamoun ’27

The Office of Faith and Justice helps students to grow in ways that shape both perspective and action. Through prayer, retreats, immersion experiences, and sustained service, students are formed not just to care, but to respond.

This part of the Brophy experience is integral to daily life. Faith and Justice is the foundation of all we do and the formation of each student over time.

30,751

service hours performed by Brophy students in 2025-26

Key Highlights

At Brophy, service is built into the life of the school. Our students engage through 8 sustained service initiatives, partnerships with nearly 30 community organizations across the Valley, and a 40-member Student Service Union that helps lead this work. Together, our students contribute nearly $1 million in service value to the Phoenix community each year.

In 2025–26, the Office of Faith and Justice facilitated 40 retreats and 25 immersion trips, with more than 1,350 students participating across those experiences during the year. Retreats and immersions gave students the opportunity to step away from routine, reflect more deeply, and grow through encounter.

Liturgy and prayer are central to life at Brophy. Throughout the year, students celebrate mass as a school community and in smaller settings with their classmates and families. Each school day begins with prayer and includes a mid-day Daily Examen. This is an Ignatian practice of reflection that helps students recognize God's presence in their lives and respond with gratitude and intention.

Campus Life

I was nervous coming in, but people introduced themselves right away and made it incredibly easy to adapt.

Jack Grisoni ’27

Campus life at Brophy is built on participation. Students are encouraged to get involved, explore new interests and contribute to the life of the school. Whether on a team, on stage, in a club, or through student leadership, they become part of a community where friendships grow naturally and brotherhood takes root.

There is no single path through Brophy. Every student brings their own interests and talents, and every student is encouraged to contribute. The friendships and brotherhood formed here extend well beyond the boundaries of our campus.

Key Highlights

Led by Student Leadership and the Student Activities Office, the Stampede brings Brophy students together through games, performances, clubs, service organizations and campus traditions. With more than 100 clubs and organizations, there is way for every Bronco to get involved.

Bronco athletics ignite the energy of our campus, uniting students, families, alumni, and fans behind something bigger than the game. Brophy fields teams in 13 AIA sports and sponsors six club programs, earning 119 state championships all-time. 1,198 student-athletes participated in Brophy athletics in 2025-26.

 

Brophy is committed to creating a community where every student is valued. Within that community, young men grow through challenge and come to recognize their god-given gifts, embracing the responsibility to use them in service to others. 

The Grad at Grad

Week to week you might not notice the difference, but when you look back as a senior, the change and growth are amazing.

Case Vanden Bosch ’26

The Graduate at Graduation reflects Brophy's vision for every student. It guides the way we educate our young men and the relationships that shape their experience. Over four years, students are encouraged to grow in faith and embrace the responsibility to serve others.

99%

of Brophy graduates attend 4-year colleges

Key Highlights

The Grad at Grad is a foundational framework used by Jesuit schools to define the five core characteristics they aim to instill in their students by graduation: Open to Growth, Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, and Committed to Doing Justice. 

Brophy graduates are ready for college, but the deeper goal is larger than admission outcomes alone. In the Class of 2026, 99% of students went on to four-year colleges, a strong result that reflects the discipline, curiosity, and character developed over four years.

More than 16,608 young men have graduated from Brophy, embracing the Grad at Grad and carrying its ideals into business, the arts, service, politics, the Church, and communities near and far. The outcome of a Brophy education is not only where students go next, but how they live once they get there.
