St. John's School

St. John’s School instills in its students intellectual enthusiasm, leadership, and an appreciation of discovery. We encourage students to focus on achievement with a willingness to explore varied paths to reach their goals. Because the SJS community revels in scholarly, athletic, and artistic adventure, day-to-day life at St. John’s is filled with the joy of learning and doing, both for students and for faculty. In 1998, alumnus and film director Wes Anderson (Class of 1987) filmed the loosely autobiographical Rushmore at St. John's, using the school as the setting for Rushmore Academy.
