Open Houses & Tours
Open Houses
At St. John's, we think visiting a campus is extremely important, and we look forward to welcoming you to ours. The best opportunity to visit is to attend one of our Open Houses in the fall of the year you apply your child. The Open House is a wonderful introduction to the School and will give you the opportunity to hear remarks from our Head of School and Division Head. You will also have the opportunity to tour the campus, visit classrooms, and meet members of our faculty and student tour guild.

St. John’s School supports opportunities for students underrepresented by ethnicity, gender, race, religion and belief, and sexual orientation to gather and share experiences in affinity groups. Affinity groups are one of many ways to help students develop a sense of belonging in the St. John's community. Both prospective and current families are invited to join us for this information session to learn about the twelve SJS Upper School affinity groups and the Unity Council. Come hear about how we build community by striving to live out the first line of our school’s Statement on Community and Inclusion: “Every member of the St. John’s community will be known and loved.”
