Saint John School is a Pre-K through Grade 8 Catholic elementary school located in Boston, Massachusetts. Nestled in the heart of Boston’s North End, Saint John School has educated students for bright futures since 1895.  Saint John School offers a unique balance of structure, inspiration, and room to fly. While rooted in Catholic tradition, the school community is open to families of all backgrounds who understand the importance of building a child’s character as much as building knowledge. The Saint John approach teaches children to “do the right thing” as they master new subjects, stretch their wings, and develop a critical and curious mind.  With the support and guidance of their teachers, they explore their true selves, develop confidence while exhibiting kindness, and push the reaches of their imagination and potential. In a close-knit school that takes full advantage of the vibrant cultural offerings just outside its door, students are prepared to become not just successful learners, but also kind, confident citizens of the world.
