Excelling in Academics
Helping students discover their unique, God-given talents through a holistic, transformative program.
Searching for Truth
We cultivate an environment where academic rigor and exceptional student support harmonize, fostering well-rounded individuals who are prepared to succeed in college, excel in their future endeavors, and become servant-leaders of tomorrow. Rooted in the Magisterium, each discipline from 6th through 12th grade offers a challenging curriculum designed to stimulate critical thinking, creative problem solving, love of learning, and an understanding of truth.

“It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”
- Pope Saint John Paul II
The JPII Advantage
Cohesive Curricular Design
We prepare students for college readiness with a vertically-aligned curriculum from sixth grade through graduation. Our teachers are content-area experts in all subjects who develop curriculum that builds skills and understanding and leads to improvement in test scores for students of all abilities.
Year-Long Classes
Students take eight year-long courses for a cohesive learning experience throughout the school year. With courses that remain consistent throughout the year, students' skill development remains uninterrupted by long gaps that traditional semester block schedules create.
Rotating Block Schedule
While students take eight year-long courses, they attend only four classes each day, which allows for deeper learning and fewer nightly homework assignments. The daily schedule also includes time for tutorials so students have more opportunities for individualized help from their teachers.
Supportive Environment through Adolescence
Our middle and high school programs are designed to support the developmental growth of our students as they mature from early adolescence to young adulthood. We have highly qualified teachers who understand adolescent development and a full counseling department that supports students' social-emotional development, academic achievement, and college admissions process.
Middle School
Students in middle school are supported during the pivotal middle years which include the transition from elementary school to the transition to high school.
High School
Students in high school work to prepare for college admissions and future careers while exploring faith, leadership, and service opportunities.
Beyond the Classroom
By Principal Jennifer Dye
Learning is for naught without the integration and application of faith. Faith is alive not only in the theology classrooms but all classrooms. The theology department provides a space for deeply understanding the Catholic faith and invites students to grow closer to Christ each day. They also support all other disciplines as they integrate faith into their disciplines in natural moments within their curriculum.
A natural integration of faith provides students the opportunity to see each discipline as part of the beauty of the creation of Christ.
The hope is that they will truly begin to see how their faith can lead them beyond themselves – in their college experience, career choices, family lives, and service to their community.
