The facilities of this campus included two outdoor swimming pools (one of them Olympic-sized and equipped with two underwater viewing rooms), a 400-meter training track, a soccer field, a running track, and locker rooms. In 2013, Brophy sold the Brophy Swim Campus to Ryland Homes, and it was vacated in early 2014. The school built a pool at its main campus, with further financial assistance from the Class of 2016. In 2010, Brophy completed construction on its Brophy Sports Campus, which has a synthetic turf field and a natural turf practice field. The completion of this campus marks the first phase of upgrading all of the school's athletic facilities. In 2016, Brophy completed “the Dutch”, a multi-functional gymnasium complete with a basketball court, running track, and underground gym. Academics Brophy Prep is the only Jesuit high school in Arizona. Its curriculum relies on a combination of liberal arts principles and Roman Catholic theology. Honors and advanced placement sections exist in each of the curricular disciplines, including 33 advanced placement classes. Students formerly were allowed to take classes at Xavier College Preparatory, a Catholic girls' college preparatory school adjacent to Brophy. Students may also partake in a dual enrollment program through Rio Salado College to receive college credit for classes they are already taking. All students are required to take "Introduction to Innovative Technologies" course their first year. The course serves as an introduction to the "maker" mentality of imagining, building and creatively solving problems by exposing students to CAD design fundamentals, coding and circuitry. The course uses examples from organizations such as Not Impossible LABS, founded by Brophy alumnus Mick Ebeling. Brophy was one of the first schools in the country to implement the AP Capstone diploma program, two yearlong AP courses offered by College Board to develop students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. Students who complete the two-year program can earn one of two different AP Capstone awards, which are valued by colleges across the United States and around the world. Admission is regarded as selective and is based on academic record, entrance examination, essays, teacher recommendations, and a required interview. For the 2022–2023 academic year, Brophy's annual tuition was US$17,500.
