This is a special place. A place where you join a family whose membership never expires. This is a community of people that will care for, nurture and remember your children.
This is a place that fills in the missing holes that a regular high school does not provide. Things like faith, respect, consequence, discipline, kindness, generosity, philanthropy.

Initially the family atmosphere and close knit community drew us to SJ. Lauren not only was welcomed into SJ but thrived at the school posting high honors and presidents list every year and then acceptance into Williams College was the icing on the cake. If anyone is looking for a school that will not only help your kids grow but also be a great stepping stone for their next chapter and enable them to prosper and excel, SJ is the place!
