In addition to his normal academic studies, for the past 12 years, Andrew Stelmach, class 2020, has attended 4-hour Ukrainian Studies classes every Saturday in Whippany, NJ, exclusively taught in the Ukrainian language, in the subjects of Ukrainian language, history, literature, culture, & geography. Being a 12th grader in this school, this April & May, while studying for the SAT, ACT, AP tests, Andrew was concurrently studying for a series of very difficult & unique, 18-hour, written & oral testing in each of the 5 Ukrainian subjects, taken over 3 weekends, exclusively in written & spoken Ukrainian.

Best of luck to our graduating seniors as the move on to the next chapter of their academic careers. Click the headline to see the list of college acceptances for the Oratory Prep Class of 2019.

"Being part of the Mock Trial team at OP has been very rewarding. It goes to show what we were able to accomplish with hard work and dedication. Throughout the season, the team put in a ton of work for many months with 2-3 hour practices 5-6 days a week. This hard work allowed us to win the county championship once again and come close to winning the regional championship as well. Seeing our hard work pay off at these trials was a very gratifying experience which also allowed the team to grow closer since we were together so often."

"My favorite part of being at OP is the school community. I have made friendships and developed relationships that will last a lifetime. I also enjoy the love and the passion teachers have for ensuring a challenging academic environment. I feel OP is preparing us to be leaders of the next generation. Lastly, I enjoy being able to participate in various clubs and sports activities."

"What makes OP a great place to work? It is one thing to love what you do, but to be able to do your work in a community that cares and is supportive of all its members, that inspires you to do great things each and every day, that to me, is being blessed in what you do."
