Xaverian is a private Catholic school located in Brooklyn, NY. Grades 9-12 offer a premier college prep program for boys and Grades 6-8 are co-ed.
The school was founded in 1957 by the Xaverian Brothers.[2] The school is a member of the Catholic High School Athletic Association (CHSAA). Xaverian is governed by a President and Board of Trustees. It is operated independently of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. Many Xaverian graduates join the New York Police Department, New York City Fire Department and the United States Military. On March 5th, 2015, the Board of Trustees made a decision to incorporate co-education to the high school, beginning in 2016. The school's first boys and girls class will be admitted for the 2016-2017 school year.[3][4][5]
