Admission - St. John's Preparatory School

Your Quest is Calling

ADMISSION

Welcome!

St. John's Prep is an all-boys school for young men in grades 6 through 12 who want to be challenged, known, valued, and loved. It's a school for boys who want to join a brotherhood that lasts far beyond their time here. It's a school where our students are asked a lot—academically, socially, athletically, creatively—but receive so much more in return.

St. John's Prep is more than a school: it's a completely transformative experience. We want you to join us on the journey.

The All-Boys Difference

Lifelong Brotherhood

On the first day of school, new students are welcomed with a huge, loud, long standing ovation from current students, faculty, and staff. It's our way of saying welcome to the brotherhood—to relationships that will last a lifetime.

Focus on Xaverian Values

St. John's is a Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School—one of 13 in the United States. Being a Xaverian school uniquely connects us to their mission and legacy of love, learning, and service through their five spiritual values.

Character Formation

Education at St. John's isn't reserved for academic subjects. We help our students understand the impact of their words and actions on others, the importance of integrity and resilience, the magic of manners, and how to be a positive role model.

Servant Leadership

There's a huge emphasis on leadership at the Prep. At the end of their junior year, rising seniors are given gold Spire pins to symbolize their status as the oldest students in the school—the roles models all other students will look up to.
