How it Works

Service/JROTC cadets and Prefect Program preps use the same campus areas, share many of the same classes, and participate together in athletics and extracurricular activities. Witnessing different approaches to learning inspires all students to think and act with greater empathy and understanding.

St. John’s Northwestern Academies is a safe, structured environment that provides each student a foundation for life with specialized programs that are built with future aspirations in mind.

Service/JROTC cadets wear the specified military-style uniform, while Prefects preps wear a traditional college-preparatory uniform. The program is structured around the Army JROTC program. The Prefect Program is structured around the British Prefectoral System dating back to the 14th century. This system stresses leader development through student self-governance. Residence halls are separated by gender as well as academy.

Admissions requirements are the same for both academies, as are our expectations that students will continually improve their personal best. Our comprehensive leader development curriculum and culture of meritocracy are built into both academies. It’s also part of every aspect of life at St. John’s Northwestern. Our cadets and Prefect preps alike grow in their abilities to learn, lead and excel.
