Military Academy cadets and Prefect Academy students use the same facilities, share many of the same classes and participate together in athletics and extracurriculars. Witnessing different approaches to learning inspires all students to think and act with greater empathy and understanding.
St. John’s Northwestern shapes young men and women through our emphasis on four pillars of education: academics, athletics and wellness, leadership growth, and spiritual and character development. These pillars are the foundation of every class, every extracurricular, every day.
Cadets wear the specified military-style uniform, while Prefect Academy students wear a traditional private-school uniform. The Military Academy is structured around the JROTC program. The Prefect Academy follows our propriety curriculum. 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 leadership 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 Military Academy cadets and Prefect Academy students alike grow in their abilities to learn, lead and excel.
