Saint John's School is a private coeducational school located in the Condado neighbourhood of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
SAINT JOHN’S SCHOOL is a non-profit, college preparatory, nonsectarian, coeducational day school founded in 1915. The school, located in a residential area of the Condado, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has an enrollment of over 800 students from pre pre-kindergarten to grade twelve. Instruction is mostly in English with the exception of language courses. Technology is widely used in the classroom through instructional tools such as tablets, laptops (required in grades seven to twelve) and smart boards.
Traditional subjects such as reading and writing, mathematics, social studies, and science are organized by themes and are taught in an environment that stresses active learning, communication, problem solving, critical thinking and good citizenship. The Spanish language program begins in PPK. Spanish as a Second Language instruction also is offered. Students enjoy an innovative computer literacy program, a physical development program based on the concept of “wellness”, and an integrated arts program including art, music, and performing arts. Student authors “publish” their own books in our Publishing Center and exhibit them at our annual Young Authors’ Fair. Community service projects are integrated into the academic programs.
Grades seven and eight provide a challenging, developmentally appropriate academic curriculum, delivered within a program that seeks to address the social and emotional needs of the students. Personal responsibility for one’s own learning is stressed in all areas. Every student takes the core academic classes of English, math, social studies, science, and Spanish. Physical education classes meet daily. In addition, all students take a number of exploratory classes that include visual and performing arts, technology, writing workshop, and research. Algebra I is offered to all eighth graders with a simultaneous class in math enrichment for those who need extra support.
Students in grades nine through twelve follow a college preparatory curriculum enriched by electives and advanced placement courses. Advanced placement courses are usually offered in English literature, Spanish literature, French language, biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, economics, psychology, human geography, United States history and European history. Elective courses usually offered include anatomy and physiology, contemporary communications, art, film analysis, French, Hispanic culture, French culture and journalism.
