An education that forms the whole young man.

From the first day of kindergarten to senior commencement, every boy is known by name. Our teachers mentor. Our chaplains shepherd. Our coaches build grit. The result: graduates who are confident, curious, and grounded.

The Four Pillars
Faith. Scholarship. Brotherhood. Service.
Every program, every classroom, every team is built on four convictions about what it means to raise a young man well.
Scholarship
A classical liberal-arts core with 18 AP offerings. Our seniors average a 1410 SAT and matriculate at the nation's best universities.
Brotherhood
House system, cross-grade mentoring, and lifelong friendships. No boy walks the halls of St. John's alone.
Service
Every student logs 80+ hours of service annually — in parishes, shelters, and missions across the city and beyond.
Student Life

St. John's didn't just teach my son calculus and Cicero. They taught him how to shake a hand, lose with grace, win with humility, and pray without embarrassment. He left a boy and came home a man.
