The St. John’s Northwestern Prefect Academy is a one-of-a-kind program that builds on research in transformational, adaptive, and servant leadership. Side-by-side with our Military Academy, the Prefect Academy teaches students to lead from the inside out.
The Prefect Academy is organized with a prefect-style model of student self-governance. Prefects accept the responsibility of assisting and guiding other students in the classroom, in the residence halls, and in group activities.
The curriculum focuses on character-based leadership principles along with experiential learning in a student-led model. Small class sizes allow for greater teacher and student interaction and a recognition of each student’s learning style.
By developing intelligence, talents and passions in the classroom, on the athletic field, or through the arts, Prefect Academy students build the skills and character traits needed to serve as influential citizens in a global community, succeeding in today’s workforce and creating a better future for themselves and others.
