Admission
Welcome! We're happy you're here, and can't wait to get to know you.
Nothing excites us more than sharing the St. John’s Prep experience with prospective families. We are so proud of our students, teachers, and school community; of who we are and what we offer. We are honored to meet students when they step on campus for the first time, and see them grow into young men, prepared to take on the world. The same goes for you: we’re thrilled to serve as your guide as you learn all about St. John’s Prep.
Taking a look at this website is a great place to start your journey. Read about our mission and values—both fundamental to who we are as a Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School for young men. Learn about our exceptional academic program and our huge array of after-school activities, and how providing students with a world of opportunities enhances their educational experience. Explore our values-based athletic programs and our dynamic and varied fine arts offerings, both of which contribute to students’ formation as a whole person.
And when you’re ready to get started, fill out an inquiry form. We’ll connect you with an admission counselor who can answer your questions, and we’ll keep you in the loop about upcoming opportunities to visit us. We can’t wait to learn more about you, show you campus, introduce you to our current students and faculty, and help you come to know the potential and possibility that await you at St. John’s Prep!

So, Why St. John's?
All Boys, All the Time: Since 1907, our mission has been to educate young men. And after more than 100 years, we think we do a pretty good job. We know how to keep them curious and engaged. We foster confidence in the classroom. We celebrate their successes, and support them when they need it.
Our Xaverian Values: The Xaverian Brothers' spiritual values—compassion, humility, simplicity, trust, and zeal—play a huge role in daily life and learning.
Opportunities Abound: A big school means big opportunities. With dozens of clubs, athletic teams, recreational activities, electives, service opportunities, and more, students find their niche, no matter what their interests are.
An Eagle for Life: The focus on enduring, personal relationships is a hallmark of a Xaverian education. Our students belong to a legacy that transcends time and place, and are bound together by a shared identity and mission.
