While I never had a German class with Mr. Lynch, I was a member of Swingtown! for two of my years at the prep. When I think back to those rehearsals and concerts, what first springs to mind about him was his easy smile and laughter, and the warmth of his presence. I make my contribute today designated for the arts at St. John's Prep, so programs like this, and like the drama program which I loved dearly, can continue to thrive.

We love SJP for all the school has done for the individual student, the parents, and the community. The staff is top notch.

The school nurtures the entire student's development: academically, spiritually, physically, and mentally. We feel very blessed to have such a wonderful school on the North Shore and are grateful for all our son learned about what's important in life. His drive to succeed and use the gifts God has given him was encouraged at the Prep and helped to develop his confidence and independence now as a college student. He came to the prep as a boy and left as a responsible, mature, and focused young man. Thank you SJP!

In a world where it's increasingly common for people to lean on AI as a crutch, the importance of excellent teachers has never been higher. I'll never forget struggling through "A Canticle for Leibowitz" and learning about existentialism with Mr. John Klein, hearing about the trenches of WWI with Mr. Dana Smith or hearing the prayer of serenity for the first time with Mr. Joel Boutin. These teachers and so many others helped me (and thousands of other students) become life-long learners, readers and writers -- and more importantly become better, more well-rounded people. Thank you for all that you do!

Finding SJP changed our son’s life! Giving today to support the amazing work of the teachers and staff, and to give more young men the chance to benefit from everything that makes the Prep extraordinary.
