Performing & Visual Arts

Saint John’s Preparatory School believes in a well-rounded curriculum where students can develop an appreciation and passion for the Performing and visual arts.

Our liberal arts curriculum provides a focused and well-rounded education that nurtures the confidence, skill-sets, and encouragement our students need to succeed in college and beyond. Students are encouraged to further develop by participating in theatre, music, and/or studio art as part of their education. We prepare our students to be true artists with access to a unique breadth, depth and diversity of experiences.

With a wide-ranging curriculum that allows students to explore many different mediums, or master just one, we mix the traditional with the contemporary.

"My kids have thrived at this school and have been afforded amazing opportunities to grow, not only as students, but also as human beings. The environment encourages individuality, supports different cultures and backgrounds, and prepares its students for future success by offering a real-life sampling of what they will encounter in college and beyond."

Brenna, student
"One of my greatest achievements is that I'm involved in a lot of sports and activities and I am still able to maintain good grades. I love the environment at Prep, everyone is friendly and the academics are very good."
Anna, student from St. Joseph
"At Prep we have the ability to do and try so many things and that is such a blessing.  Students are encouraged to try new things despite never having done them before.  I have been encouraged to be more than just one type of person based on my activities; I can do sports, academic competitions, theatre, and clubs related to social good.  At other schools they don't blend all the interests of their students so freely and easily."
