Quick Facts About St. John's Military School
Providing Structured Education for Grades 6 through 12
St. John's Military School was selected as one of the top private schools in the country by GreatSchools, as published in Business Week magazine. St. John's was the only military school in the United States to have been given this distinction.
Most students who are enrolled in grades six, seven and eight live in barracks separate from the high school students. This allows our military advisors to develop unique programs for the younger students and develop expectations that are fair and realistic for this age group. Both the middle school and upper school barracks have recreational facilities such as movie theaters, electronic game capabilities, etc.
