From their first day on campus, students at St. John’s Northwestern live, learn and practice leadership. Through classroom study, extracurricular activities, enrichment experiences and the very structure of daily life, students come to recognize that leadership takes many forms. They build confidence in their own style while developing the skills to collaborate with others. They gain the courage to make a difference for themselves, for their families and community, for the world.
Organization, focus and personal accountability can be learned—and must be learned if a student is to be ready for college and the workplace. St. John’s Northwestern students in both the Military Academy and Prefect Academy begin with lessons in self-mastery, as well as the concept of service before self.
Students have countless opportunities to apply their leadership lessons throughout their time at St. John’s Northwestern. In the classroom, on the athletic field, and in their chosen pursuits, students grow in confidence, capabilities and compassion.
Campus leadership responsibilities mirror those of college and the workplace.
Graduates take their abilities into the world with motivation and pride. For the rest of their lives, they’ll remember what they learned at St. John’s Northwestern—and wherever they go, they can say that Leadership Lives Here.
