The motto comes from the Gospel of John and refers to the reason Christ came into the world - so that people could live life to the fullest. It is this goal of helping young men and women develop their full potential that St. John’s Prep is dedicated. The School was founded by the Vincentian Fathers in Brooklyn in 1870. It is currently located in the residential community of Astoria, Queens. The school building features large and well equipped science laboratories, state-of-the-art computer labs, wireless capability, smart boards, a well-stocked library, a band room, art room, a magnificent auditorium, beautiful chapel, spacious guidance center, a large gymnasium, a fullyequipped weight room, an outdoor track, and its own retreat center. St. John’s Prep seeks to fulfill its Mission by providing a vigorous academic education that prepares students for the challenges they will meet in the 21st Century. Advanced Placement courses are offered in all subject areas. Students in the Honor Program take supplementary courses in Latin and Art History. To ensure all students at the Prep are successful, courses are offered on different levels of difficulty; placement in the appropriate level is done on a subject by subject basis. St. John’s Prep has a unique academic affiliation with St. John’s University. The Baccalaureate Program is a special program that allows qualified students at the Prep to complete their senior year of high school at the University. For eligible students this is a great saving of time and money. The spiritual needs of the Prep’s students are fostered by teaching the values, concepts, and practices of the Catholic faith. The values, concepts, and practices are conveyed not just through religion classes but through an extensive retreat program and Christian service opportunities. The Prep develops the social, cultural, and emotional development through extensive extracurricular and co-curricular offerings. Athletic teams are fielded in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball, and weight lifting.
