St. John has been an amazing experience and has gave me a lot of opportunities to explore more talents and work harder with them. I have been able to branch out from my extracurriculars to meet new people and leadn more about hard work. I have played sports and participated in clubs while my time here and I do believe that our clubs and some sports should be advertised more due to low participation rate in some of them. Regardless of that St. John's is definitely a family feel school and gives you a pathway for success if you choose to take it.

I've as a Social Worker at SJB for the past 10 years. It has been my pleasure to journey with students, their families and faculty through both painful and joy-filled times. I have watched students who came to SJB as reserved freshmen, mature over the 4 years with us into caring and respectful young women and men. Our school population is growing more diverse, but the addition of young men and women from outside the U.S.A. continues to enrich the life of each person as we grow as a global community, sharing and understanding our cultural and religious backgrounds in a new light. We are blessed to be able to have this experience and hope that the program continues to grow to its height before the pandemic.

I did not know anything about SJB except a friend telling me that one of her doctors told her SJB was the best thing he did for his two sons. My daughter shadowed SJB and two other schools and she immediately chose SJB. My daughter made the best decision. SJB is excellent academically and there are...
