Why Attending a Virtual Boarding School Open House Can Shape Your Student’s Future

Choosing the right boarding school is one of the most important decisions a family can make — and it starts with exploring your options. For many families, attending a Virtual Open House is the perfect first step. On November 12, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. CST, St. John’s Northwestern (SJN) will host a live online event where families can discover what makes the Academy a place students call home.

Experience SJN From Anywhere

Our virtual open house makes it easy for families to learn about academics, leadership, and campus life without having to travel. During this event, attendees will meet members of our Admissions and Academic teams and get an inside look at how SJN blends college-preparatory academics, JROTC-inspired leadership, and personalized mentorship to create well-rounded graduates ready for life’s next steps.

What You’ll Learn

The virtual open house will give you an overview of:

  • Academics and Specialized Programs – including Engineering, Robotics & Aviation (E.R.A.), JROTC-Leadership, and elite athletic options like the DME Basketball Program.
  • Corps of Cadets Life – how structure, discipline, and community help students build confidence and self-reliance.
  • College & Career Guidance – led by counselor Catherine Lewis, who helps students earn acceptances and scholarships to top universities nationwide.
  • Character & Leadership Development – where values like integrity, courage, and service become a foundation for lifelong success.

Why a Virtual Event Matters

For busy families or international students, a virtual open house is the easiest way to experience SJN’s mission of building a “Foundation for Life” and keeping “Future Aspirations in Mind.” You’ll have the opportunity to see how students live, learn, and lead at SJN — and how our dedicated faculty and mentors help them achieve more than they thought possible.

Join us from wherever you are and see why St. John’s Northwestern is more than a school — it’s a community built on purpose, leadership, and opportunity.
