Unlocking Potential in 2025: How SJNA Helps Students Achieve Their Dreams
DELAFIELD, Wis. – As the new year begins, many families are reflecting on their goals and aspirations for the future. For students with big dreams and ambitious goals, finding the right school can make all the difference. At St. John’s Northwestern Academies (SJNA), we specialize in providing students with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to unlock their potential and achieve success.
Here’s how SJNA’s unique programs and resources can help your child thrive in 2025 and beyond:
At SJNA, we believe every student has the potential to be a leader. Our proprietary leadership curriculum offers two distinctive paths:
- Service/JROTC Pathway: Recognized as a JROTC Honor Unit with Distinction, this program combines rigorous academics with leadership training, helping students prepare for college and beyond. Students interested in pursuing a U.S. service academy appointment or an ROTC scholarship will find unparalleled preparation here.
- Prefect Pathway: This model emphasizes student self-governance, focusing on personal growth, self-discipline, and critical thinking. Prefect students learn to lead with integrity and develop lifelong skills for success.
SJNA’s commitment to excellence is evident in its outcomes. In 2024, SJNA seniors collectively surpassed $6 million in offered college scholarships, including full scholarships to elite institutions like Notre Dame and West Point. With a 100% college acceptance rate and an average of $115,000 in scholarship awards per student, SJNA ensures every graduate is set up for success.
Academic Excellence with a Personal Touch
SJNA offers small class sizes, individualized guidance, and a dynamic curriculum that includes Advanced Placement, honors, and dual-enrollment classes. Whether students are pursuing a STEM-focused diploma or a Humanities Honors track, they’ll find a challenging yet supportive environment to excel.
Partnerships with Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh allow students to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. Unlike traditional AP courses, these dual-enrollment classes provide a semester-based structure where success is measured by coursework, not a single test. This unique opportunity gives students a significant head start on their academic journey.
Specialized Programs Keep Future Aspirations in Mind
SJNA’s Engineering, Robotics, and Aviation (E.R.A.) Program equips students with the skills to thrive in cutting-edge industries. Highlights include:
- Earning a private pilot’s license or a commercial drone pilot license.
- Hands-on learning opportunities in a state-of-the-art ERA Lab.
- A cybersecurity program designed to address the challenges of the digital age.
These programs are more than just innovative; they’re life-changing. Just last year, SJNA cadet William Braunschweig achieved a major milestone in the aviation program by completing his first solo flight. This accomplishment exemplifies the program’s ability to inspire and prepare students for success in highly specialized fields.
Athletics and Extracurricular Activities
At SJNA, every student participates in athletics and wellness programs to build a lifetime commitment to physical and mental well-being. From varsity sports like basketball, soccer, and swimming to co-op teams with area schools, there’s a sport or activity for everyone.
2024 was a banner year for SJNA athletics, with the varsity soccer team claiming their third consecutive conference title and their second straight regional championship. With an impressive 13-2-3 record, the team demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, and determination—values that are instilled in every student-athlete at SJNA.
In addition, SJNA’s partnership with DME Academy continues to enhance our athletics program, offering high school student-athletes exceptional training and development opportunities. Whether competing on the field, court, or in the pool, SJNA students are prepared to excel and lead, both as athletes and individuals.
Located in the charming town of Delafield, Wisconsin, SJNA’s campus features state-of-the-art facilities, including renovated residence halls, a dining hall, academic buildings, and an Olympic-size pool. Our students enjoy a safe, structured, and supportive environment where they can grow academically, socially, and personally.
As the new year unfolds, it’s the perfect time to take the next step toward your child’s future. At St. John’s Northwestern Academies, we’re committed to helping students discover their passions, develop their strengths, and achieve their dreams.
