Princeton’s math and science programs, and its Catholic chapel, drew Brookewood senior there
Ana Pantoja-Alfaro, a graduating senior in the Brookewood School’s class of 2024, will be heading to Princeton University in the fall, where she plans to major in mathematics and minor in physics.
She is very excited to study those subjects at a university known for its world-class math and science programs. But what sealed the deal for her when choosing where to attend college is that to the best of her knowledge, Princeton is the only Ivy League university with a permanent Blessed Sacrament chapel.
There is also daily Mass there and every year, the school is represented at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. During her recent campus visit, members of the Catholic Student Center did a reading of the “The Jeweler’s Shop,” a play written in 1960 by Karol Wojtyla before he became Saint John Paul II.
