What is it?

A Monthly Message from President Robert J. Fine, Jr.

I am pleased to share the first edition of The Fine Point, a monthly message designed to reflect on the purpose that drives St. John’s Northwestern Academies. Each month, I look forward to using this space to spotlight the opportunities, achievements, and milestones shaping the student experience at SJNA.

The Power of Purpose | April, 2025 Edition

April is a month that brings this mission into full focus. For our students, it is a season of action — where purpose meets opportunity.

Academic Purpose:

This month, many of our students are participating in key academic milestones, including ACT testing and preparing for our ISACS Accreditation visit. Both are significant markers — not just because of what they mean for transcripts or institutional reports, but because they represent preparation for the next step. Whether a student is aiming for college, a service academy, or simply their next personal goal, these moments require discipline, focus, and perseverance.

The accreditation process, in particular, is a reminder to our entire community that we are constantly striving to improve. This is not just about meeting external standards; it’s about our deep responsibility to ensure students have access to the best possible environment for building their foundations for life.
