Brooklyn Preparatory School, commonly referred to as Brooklyn Prep, was a highly selective Jesuit preparatory school in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. It was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1908. The school educated generations of young men from throughout New York City and Long Island until its closure in 1972. A new school of the same name now exists in the same borough.
