What Colleges Look for in Successful Applicants

begin with the end in mind.

We engage our students not only as they are but in relation to all that they can become. Students at Saint John’s Prep courageously take intellectual and creative risks to discover their purpose and passions and to grow in mind, heart, and soul. Set on a spectacular 2,900-acre water and woodland campus with access to the tremendous resources of Saint John’s University and Saint John’s Abbey, our students have unparalleled opportunities to explore, discover, and create.

Saint John’s Prep partners with public and private colleges and universities to offer our students automatic admission and scholarship opportunities in higher education!

UMD Campus Photo
St John's Prep has been a beautiful welcoming community for my child.

I have witnessed so many examples of how the teachers, staff, and students work together to encourage each other, build togetherness, and support curiosity. My son has had opportunities to try new things and experience the world around him in ways he would otherwise not have. He has grown much stronger in his learning, social-emotional skills, and physical fitness in just one academic year at Prep. We are eager for our other children to attend this incredible school!
