Both of my daughters attend(ed) St. John's Prep. There is no other high school in the region that offers the same opportunities with a campus located on a college campus and surrounded by 3,000 acres of lakes and forest. Prep's roots in St. John's University are evident in everything they do, from academics to campus culture to the physical setting. We were looking for a middle/high school experience that would emphasize academics, inclusion, and independence in ways other local schools cannot. We found it at Prep: great teachers, visionary administration, supportive parents, and an academic focus that absolutely prepared our oldest for success in college (and is doing so currently for our youngest). Though we are life-long supporters of public education and not Catholic, we wanted the best for our kids. While no school is perfect Prep has offered our kids great opportunities to grow intellectually, personally, and in community. We're very happy with the result.
As a soon to be graduating junior, I have had a very good middle/high school experience. The middle school program is often a challenge for most incoming students, but it prepares you well for high school. The teachers, while not perfect, care about their students and the topics they teach. Incoming students are generally welcomed well by the rest of the school, so making friends is seldom an issue for most kids. Despite being a catholic school, it is a fairly diverse and progressive space. The school puts a lot of effort into preparations for college, and guides students through college searching and admission. Prep is not known for its sports, but other activities such as Knowledge Bowl, Esports, and Theatre are thriving. Overall, if you can afford the tuition, I would recommend Prep to any student looking for a more engaging environment.
Saint John's is a wonderful college preparatory school! The teachers are very knowledgeable and caring. They have access to college courses at Saint John's University. Dorm students come from all over the world. My son transferred in at 10th grade from a US public school and a couple of the teachers and the office staff, in particular, really went out of their way to help him navigate a very new environment. The school has many sports teams but they aren't very competitive, which has been frustrating for our son. The dorm can be a bit stifling over weekends. Dorm staff take kids places, including stores to get food for times when they can't get to the dining hall at the college. Saint John's is a terrific school that does a great job of preparing students for college and has a great group of teachers and staff.
