The Faculty

EPA’s low student-teacher ratio enables our exceptional faculty to maximize individual attention. EPA teachers are carefully selected from a pool of diverse talents. Our criteria in this selection process is simple. Their tenure with us is based on credentials, experience, understanding of teaching and learning, passion for their craft, and their ability to serve as positive mentors to malleable young minds.

Our Facility

The Elite Preparatory Academy is a two story, former Hudson Maxim Elementary School which was established on 1908. Our expansive 61,700 sq.ft. facility is situated on 11.25 acres of beautiful Somerset and Hopatcong, nestled within the New Jersey Highland region. Our potential capacity of 350 students, makes us the largest K-12 academy in this district. The school is a member of New Jersey Association of Independent Schools. The school is also approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to issue I-20 for the acceptance of foreign students.

Dorm Life

Originally built as a stone farmhouse at the turn of the 19th century, the Tamaracks Country Villa was later absorbed in 1909 into a European-style stucco “castle”, locally known as The Colby Mansion in Sussex County’s Skylands district.Secluded on 5 1/2 acres surrounded by gardens and woodlands, creek and lake, the inn was the dream home of a self-styled architect/entrepreneur and his internationally known artist-wife.While preserving much of the original interior spaces, the seven suites with private ensuite baths, gas replaces, and sitting/work areas, are all handcrafted rooms tastefully and artistically appointed.
