A College Like No Other
One Great Books College, Two Great Campuses
For many families, choosing a college is a long and stressful journey. All families want to support their student's choices, but also want to make sure they’re considering all of their options when it comes to an undergraduate education. Families wonder whether their students will be prepared for the future—and whether they’ll be happy at the school they select.
And of course families are also rightfully concerned about affordability and financial aid.
That’s why we’ve compiled some links for families below. We hope they address some of your concerns, and give you better insight into why generations of students and their families have chosen St. John’s College.
At St. John’s, great books—and great discussions—are the heart of the college’s distinctive program. Our students—known as “Johnnies”—are part of an intellectual community and investors in their own education, from conversations around the seminar table to those that take place beyond classroom walls. Inspired by some of history’s most brilliant philosophers, scientists, musicians and more, students push themselves to think deeply, discuss intensely, and live boldly. They leave St. John’s with a passion that ignites distinctive career paths—and their world.
