St. John Paul II Academy

2025-2026 is the inaugural year for our Academy. We opened with grades K-2 and will add a grade every year through 8th grade. Our pillars of Holiness, Wonder, Wisdom, and Virtue form the foundation of our mission to cultivate joyful disciples of Christ. Holiness calls us to live each day in God’s presence, centering our lives on the Eucharist and embracing the beauty of the Church’s liturgical seasons. Through twice-weekly Mass, Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, adoration, and benediction, we nurture a deep connection to God. Our school life reflects the beauty of the liturgical year, celebrating saints, feast days, and traditional Catholic devotions, while fostering an intentional reverence for what is sacred. Wonder inspires awe and curiosity about God’s creation. Through the study of literature, music, and art inspired by truth, beauty, and goodness, we awaken a love for learning. Our teaching methods encourage imagination and creativity, with nature studies that allow children to explore the physical gifts of creation. Outdoor learning environments further enrich this sense of wonder. Wisdom is cultivated through a joyfully disciplined school culture. Ordered and beautiful classrooms create a peaceful environment where students develop thoughtful manners and effective study habits. With an intentionally screen-reduced approach, we provide a space where children can focus on forming their minds and hearts in alignment with God’s truth. Virtue shapes the habits of mind, heart, and hands that lead to lives of goodness and integrity. Our approach integrates literacy, history, and mathematics in ways that emphasize the dignity of each child. With practices like recitation, narration, and song, we enhance memory and understanding. Our Srodowisko Families - named after St. John Paul II's community of friends he mentored as a young priest and bishop in Poland - are named after devotions to our Blessed Mother and are vital to our school culture, celebrations, and faith formation.
