IS BORN

Preparation for college. Empowerment for the future.

At Roman Catholic High School, young men gain more than skills to succeed in college. They learn what it means to take responsibility for themselves — and for their futures.

Based in the heart of Philadelphia’s historic Center City, Roman unites our diverse student body with rigorous academics as part of our college preparatory curriculum. Whether earning credit from our partner universities or exploring our wide selection of AP and honors courses, Roman students graduate with the self-drive to succeed at college, in their careers, and beyond.
