Overview
At St. John Paul the Great, our educational approach is understood by forming the mind, body and soul of students. Every dimension of school life is ordered towards helping students grow in freedom, responsibility, and holiness. Throughout the year, students are given opportunities to refine their minds, bodies, and souls through studying the classical intellectual life, exploring nature, and having ample opportunities to receive the sacraments.
The 3 Pillars of Formation
-
Informing the Mind
We invite our students to ask meaningful questions, speak with clarity, and seek truth with intention. Drawing from the Catholic intellectual tradition, our curriculum awakens curiosity and wonder by placing students in conversation with the ideas, texts, and traditions that have shaped our civilization. Learning is directed toward wisdom and virtue.

Training the Body
At JPG, students are shaped through experiences that call for effort, commitment, and self-giving. Beyond campus, these opportunities invite students to step beyond comfort for the sake of growth. Outdoor expeditions, retreats, and service to others challenge students to give of themselves, cultivating discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and leadership.

Transforming the Soul
Grounded in the life of the Church, our school is dedicated to forming disciples who follow Christ with intention and conviction. Through regular access to the sacraments, students are invited into a living relationship with God that they may grow in holiness every day. Faith gives life to the school’s mission and informs every aspect of formation.
