 Our Legacy Is Built Together

For generations, the generosity of our Spartan community has shaped what is possible at St. Johns Country Day School. Across our campus, donor support has brought transformational facilities, innovative learning spaces, enriching programs, and meaningful opportunities to life—creating experiences that inspire our students and empower our faculty. These are more than projects; they are the lasting impact of a community investing in its students and its future. Today, we have the opportunity to build on that legacy. Every gift helps create what comes next—and ensures the St. Johns experience continues to grow, evolve, and inspire generations to come.

Your generosity ensures that every student benefits from the whole-child experience that sets St. Johns apart: small classes, innovative teaching, meaningful relationships, and opportunities that go beyond what tuition alone can provide.

Your Generosity Creates a Lasting Impact

Together We Have Created…

Nichols Family Art Gallery

Located at the heart of campus, the Nichols Family Art Gallery serves as a creative hub for students, faculty, alumni, and local artists. This light-filled space showcases the power of artistic expression and celebrates the vibrant visual arts community both within and beyond St. Johns Country Day School.

Ron and Angie Bare Playground

In 2022, our Lower School got a new playground and updated equipment, giving our youngest Spartans a place to run, explore, imagine, and play. Designed to encourage movement, creativity, and connection, the new play spaces enhance each child’s school day by giving them room to be active, try new things, and simply enjoy being a kid. Thanks to the generosity of our Spartan Community, this vibrant addition to campus creates more opportunities for fun, discovery, and memorable moments.

St. Johns Aquatic Complex

The St. Johns swimming complex features a 25-yard competitive pool and is the home of the St. Johns Spartan Swim Team and Spartan Aquatic Club (SPAC). During the school day, PE teachers hold classes for our youngest Spartans, while our athletic teams use it for strength and endurance training. In 2022, our pool was in need of extensive and immediate repairs, and our Spartan Community stepped in with donations so this critical and unique part of our campus could continue to serve our St. Johns families.

Bare Family Wellness Center

Through the generosity of our Spartan families, we were able to transform this underutilized area into a state-of-the-art fitness facility for our student-athletes.
