St. John’s Academy offers a boarding experience which is aimed at preparing students to become the best versions of themselves. Our main goal in the dorms is to show these students how to be good citizens of the world. We offer character education that focuses on consideration, accountability, developing a strong work ethic, integrity and perseverance. The academic programs at SJA are challenging, and the dorm staff strives to help with organization, study habits and taking responsibility for your own learning. Each weekend, there is a trip off campus, but the students also have a lot of choice with their free time. The dorm schedule allows for students to learn how to prioritize and how to make good decisions. The St. John’s Academy dorms offer a place for students to learn, grow and make lifelong friendships.
