Fordham Preparatory School

Fordham Preparatory sits just inside the Bronx line of Fordham Road, where prep schools have been part of the neighborhood fabric for generations. Alumni often recall small seminar rooms, after-school athletics, and college guidance sessions that tightened schedules for four years. It shares the block with the wood-frame houses that once dominated the hill, now bracketed by taller apartment towers that rim University Avenue traffic. The school’s gothic brick wings face East Fordham Road, welcoming a wide range of prospective families who walk the same cracked sidewalks that local students have used for decades. The entrance sits at 441 E Fordham Rd, Bronx, NY 10458. To arrange a tour, call (718) 367-7500. A quick map search gets you to the front gate without weaving through the after-school pickup line: directions. From here Jones Bridge Road angles toward the major crossings, while Fordham Plaza’s bus loops murmur in the background, framing the school between local commutes and college-town energy.
