Building a Foundation for Life

Structured Environment

At SJN, our history and foundation center on providing each student a safe, structured environment as a foundation for life. Being away from home, preparing to make the most of each day, being personally responsible for making your bed, cleaning your room, folding your clothes, looking sharp and in uniform, and maintaining a rigorous schedule are the life skills that prepare our students to be high achievers for whatever they aspire to in the future. The dormitories are secure with adult supervision, and our students develop academic fundamental habits through our required evening supervised study halls with peer and tutor resources available, and an advantageous 12-to-1 student-teacher ratio that instills high academic achievement. Experience the difference at St. John's Northwestern.
