Welcome to St. Johns Country Day School!

One of the first things you will notice at St. Johns is that our school is a joyful place. Whether you are walking our halls, having a meal, watching a class discussion, or attending an event after school, you will find students and faculty who greet you warmly and who welcome you into our school. 

As you explore independent schools for your family, I am confident you will come to understand the true value of a St. Johns education. We provide a superior college preparatory program with an innovative curriculum that stresses academic accomplishment, artistic excellence, and athletic competition in a supportive environment that develops students who Seek Solutions, Accept Responsibility, and Create Collaboration.

 St. Johns is committed to developing a love of learning and a service mindset that will inspire lives of purpose in our students. Our school’s dedication to this goal is what drew me to this place and what energizes the work that all of us do here. Here, learning is personal, character is cultivated, and curiosity is part of every day. When students are supported intellectually, emotionally, socially, and ethically, they don’t just succeed; they thrive.

As an early Pre-K3 through Grade 12 school, everything we do is connected, and we are committed to the ongoing development and coordination of our programs to meet our students’ needs as the educational landscape changes. Our graduates are young men and women who are well prepared to succeed at the finest colleges and universities, have a strong sense of purpose, and are eager to make a difference in the world around them. 

 At St. Johns, we know what matters most. While academic success and college placement are important to our school community, each student is so much more than a grade point average or a standardized test score. While the pages of our website provide a glimpse into the St. Johns experience, our people are our greatest asset. I encourage you to contact our Admissions Office to schedule a campus visit to meet our faculty and students. Our extraordinary faculty members are more than just teachers; they are mentors and role models who inspire students to pursue their academic and co-curricular passions and to support one another in the process. St.

Johns Country Day School is a place where your child will be encouraged to think critically, act with integrity, and lead by serving others. The pursuit of excellence and a care for others is what makes St. Johns so special.

 We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus and sharing with your family the exceptional value of the St. Johns experience.

Sincerely,

Dr. John Murray
