Where patience is taught.

Our school motto, Non Excidet, is Latin for “He will not fail.” For 70 years, Father Judge has focused on creating a home-away-from-home where young men can be themselves, with fewer distractions, and a curriculum focused on helping uncover their talents to illuminate their futures. With a culture built on lasting brotherhood, Judge creates men of character who frequently trace their development back to this school’s unique environment.

At Father Judge, our goal is to deliver meaningful, high-quality education at a rate that remains accessible for the families we serve. And thanks to the Joseph G. Campellone OSFS Endowment, we can further subsidize tuition for many students. The result is outstanding outcomes at a value that cannot be matched in private education.

Tuition is updated every year to reflect fundraising gains, school upgrades, and other factors. For the latest numbers and information, see our tuition page.

Brotherhood at Father Judge means creating goals that allow each young man to strive high. For many, that means taking advantage of challenging academics programs, especially those involving our renovated science laboratories to pursue STEM degrees and attend prestigious national universities.

Judge has also pioneered jobs-focused education through our Career Pathways Program, which includes rewarding tracks for careers in automotive, HVAC, and welding.

No matter the path a Father Judge student pursues, we expect and maintain a 100% graduation rate for all young men, and a 100% acceptance rate for those pursuing higher education.

With rising enrollment and a successful capital campaign, Father Judge is surging into the coming decade with significant upgrades and expansions to offer students innovative technologies and world-ready experiences.

In addition to updated biology, chemistry, and physics labs — including new equipment and cutting edge technologies— Father Judge’s new 20,000 sq. ft. Career Pathways Academy now prepares students for jobs in welding, HVAC and automotive fields.

And that’s not all. We’re also investing in upgrades to our athletics facilities, with modern competition areas, locker rooms, study areas, training suites and more.

Eligible Father Judge students receive free SEPTA passes to make transit to and from school easy throughout the area. We also partner with multiple local suburban school districts to provide additional busing. For more information, see our transportation page.

Transfer students from other high schools are welcome to apply through a process very similar to that used for incoming freshman. Please see our transfer page for more information.

70 years of alumni are actively involved in Father Judge, providing mentorship, inspiration, support, and brotherhood to the young men who call this school their home. Whether it is academic support through the Brisson Center for Academic Excellence, networking events, or other career and advancement opportunities, men who graduate from Father Judge are proud to give back as lifelong Crusaders.

In the class of 2024 alone, Father Judge students achieved distinguished success across multiple pathways. Three Crusaders were accepted to Ivy League universities. Four enlisted into active service in the U.S. Armed Forces, including one accepted into the U.S. Naval Academy. We graduated 24 certified welders — all of whom received immediate job offers. And collectively, our 160 students broke records earning $38 million in scholarship awards. No matter the pathway, Father Judge students set the bar high.
