St. Johns Country Day School
Founded in 1953 by Dr. Edwin Heinrich, St. Johns Country Day School was a founding member of the Florida Council of Independent Schools and was Jacksonville’s first independent private school to earn its accreditation.
We guide students from age 3 through Grade 12 to understand what it means to Seek Solutions, Accept Responsibility, and Create Collaboration.
St. Johns remains small by design. As part of the founding mission, education is enhanced by small classes and a tailored learning experience. We celebrate the interaction of students and faculty on one campus where Lower School looks up to Middle and Upper School students and older classmates, recognizing the responsibility of being a leader and role model.
