For nearly a century, St. John’s College has upheld one of the oldest and noblest aims of education: the cultivation of free human beings. This is the kind of education America needs, one in which small groups of students pursue knowledge together, guided by faculty who are fellow explorers. Sustaining this education depends on those who believe in it, because the qualities that set the Program apart also make it costly to provide—and the amount that families can contribute is shrinking. Despite these pressures, the college has refused to compromise on affordability. Tuition is lower today than ten years ago, even after adjusting for inflation, and most students pay less. Your ongoing support makes this possible.
