About St. John’s

Founded on the Xaverian values of compassion, humility, simplicity, trust, and zeal, St. John’s Prep educates young men in grades 6 through 12 to stand for good in the world. In small classes led by dynamic and caring teachers, students go for the deeper understanding – of themselves, their classmates, and the world beyond St. John’s. And it’s good that unites students from 80 communities, two states, and different backgrounds into one brotherhood and a global network of 15,000 graduates.

St. John’s is an inclusive, Catholic, Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School. Inspired by servant leadership – the belief that each of us is capable of influencing any situation for the good of others – St. John’s empowers students to grow in faith and wisdom, promote human dignity, act with compassion and integrity, pursue justice and peace, and live lives of service to society.
