Devon Preparatory School is a private, Catholic college preparatory school in Devon, Pennsylvania, founded in 1956 by the Piarist fathers. It is an all-boys school, divided into a middle school and an upper school , both located on the same campus of 20 acres . The school operates independently under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
The site where the Devon Preparatory School was originally owned by Philadelphia publisher, art collector, and socialite Dr. Charles Matthew Lea, who built his mansion in 1913 that was later to become Calasanctus Hall. Lea, son of historian Henry Charles Lea, inherited his fortune from the Lea & Febiger publishing firm, the oldest publishing company in the United States . The firm's best known title was the American edition of Gray's Anatomy, which they began publishing in 1859. The original 20-acre tract on the east side of Valley Forge Road was expanded in 1920, with the purchase of an additional 83 acres . This consolidated property was known as Westthorpe Farm.
