Neumann Preparatory School (known familiarly as Neumann Prep) was a private, Catholic college-preparatory school located in Wayne, New Jersey, within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson. It was founded as The Blessed John Neumann Preparatory Seminary in 1965. In 1970 Neumann was designated a Preparatory School and was all-male until the 1974–1975 academic year.
The school was named for Saint John Neumann.
Neumann Prep closed at the end of the 1989–1990 academic year. Since then the campus has been the site of a Montessori school and the Lakeview Learning Center. The current tenants are the Al-Ghazaly High School. The site is also headquarters of TSF Academy, a well respected soccer academy in Northern New Jersey. The property was owned by the Diocese of Paterson.[2]
In July, 2022 the Diocese of Paterson sold the property to the Academy of Greatness & Excellence, an Islamic school based in Ridgefield Park, NJ. The AGE is not affiliated with Al-Ghazaly High School.[3][4]
The 25-acre property was purchased for $13.5 million.[5]
