Pope John Paul XXIII School is a private Catholic school in Evanston that provides pre-K through eighth graders with a religious-based education that emphasizes the development of each student. Part of the greater Chicago area since 1886, Pope John Paul XXIII was one of the first private Catholic schools to be awarded the U.S. Department of Education's National Blue Ribbon of Excellence for its students' outstanding academic achievements.
Pope John Paul XXIII enrolls around 200 students in an average class size of 16 with a student-to-teacher ratio that hovers around 14:1. Students can pursue studies in mathematics, language, social studies, science, reading and religion. Spanish and French are taught beginning in preschool. STEM learning is promoted through the use of Chromebooks, iPads and Macbooks in the classroom, and teachers work to integrate technology into their homerooms. Daily prayer is also included in the curriculum.
Athletic participation is encouraged for all ages. Bitty Basketball is offered to grades kindergarten through third, and Little Kicks Soccer is played by children in pre-K through third.
Founded on an academic mission and spiritual principles, Pope John Paul XXIII School continues to prepare students for a lifetime of learning.
