Accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, coeducational, non-profit, college-preparatory, full-time day school founded in 1994 for grades K-12. Dedicated to the memory of St. John of San Francisco, the great modern-day Wonderworker who had a particular love and ministry toward children, the Academy is an English-speaking, fully pan-Orthodox institution that seeks to take the vibrant spiritual, moral and educational heritage of traditional Orthodox Christianity and offer it to the world—including both Orthodox and non-Orthodox students and families. Building upon a Classical curriculum and model, the Academy’s 18 years of operation have equipped it to develop its own vibrant educational context, rooted in traditional Orthodox Christian understandings of the human person, community, learning and growth. Fostering the highest-level of academic integrity and standards, St. John’s aims to participate with parents in the development of children who are well informed in both liberal arts and modern sciences, delivered in an integrated manner that fosters discussion, conversation, and a holistic engagement with learning and faith. We aim to equip our students with an education grounded in our faith, with an ethical and moral foundation that will enable them to live as devout Christians in the modern world. Rooted securely in its Orthodox heritage, St. John’s has more recently become dedicated to sharing its life and mission with the whole Christian community. It actively seeks out and welcomes students of all Christian traditions who desire a dynamic, integrated education within the context of a school inspired and motivated by traditional Orthodox Christianity. Our mission is exemplified in our Expected Schoolwide Learning Results, which are the focal point of all our work. Students are expected to: (1) Know, understand and implement the basic beliefs and practices of the Orthodox Christian faith in one’s personal life; (2) Be prepared to live as a truly useful member of society who practices Christian citizenship towards others and true Orthodox piety towards God; (3) Be able to think critically and analytically; (4) Be able to express oneself in an effective and confident manner; and (5) Acquire the motivation and ability to strive for intellectual excellence.
