It was great. It got me connections to big universities. I got long term friends that truly care about me.

I've had a very good time at St. John's. They are definitely an athletic school, but the academics and music/art courses are very good. The teachers, overall, are great, and many are very passionate about the subjects they teach, on top of always being willing to help or talk to the students.

I had a great experience at Saint John's. The academics are tough, but recent graduates have told me they were very prepared for college. I played two sports and it was a great experience.

I think they could relax the dress code a bit, but that's probably my only complaint.

I graduated quite a long time ago (1989), so my review may be outdated. But if the school has held true to its core values and long-standing traditions, things haven't changed much where it counts. Saint John's provided an outstanding foundation for my life, preparing me well for college and life be...
