St. John’s School is an independent private college-preparatory school, located in Upper Tumon, Guam.  St. John’s prides itself on academic excellence and a spirit of tolerance in a Christian environment. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds and talents, all graduates continue on to college, many at prestigious U.S. institutions. We invite you to join the St. John’s community!

It is our vision that all students who desire a rigorous college preparatory program will consider St. John’s on their way to the university of their choice, and that all students who are accepted by St. John’s will not be turned away simply from financial need or an inability to pay for tuition. All scholarships are grants with no need to repay.

The success of St. John’s rests squarely on the achievements of two groups: the students and the teachers. We believe that among the many qualities of St. John’s, our teachers are attracted to St. John’s because of the students’ commitment, and the students come to St. John’s because the teachers not only possess the credentials and training to provide them with the education they seek, but demonstrate their commitment in the classroom from year to year. Scholarships help to attract students who demonstrate the highest academic promise and motivation.

We understand the challenges that many families face in financing a private education. We work with families to find a payment plan that suits their budget and to find financial aid for those who need assistance.

Currently one out of every four students receives some form of tuition assistance. We offer assistance in the form of Financial Aid, and Supplemental Scholarships. None require repayment, and all are confidential.

TUITION ASSISTANCE

Families apply online for financial assistance directly to St. John’s and concurrently to School and Student Services (SSS) – an impartial, nationally-recognized service that determines who qualifies and how much.

General Scholarship - Awarded to the most qualified students by the Scholarship Committee based on financial need, academic standing and other personal achievements. Candidates must complete the financial aid process, as enclosed. Award amounts vary based on the pool of candidates and the availability of funds.
ECIM Scholarship – Established in 2008 by The Episcopal Church in Micronesia (ECIM) and the national Episcopal Church in New York, this scholarship is based on financial need, academic standing and other personal achievements. This scholarship is an outreach program for students across the island who wish to benefit from a college-preparatory education. Candidates must complete the financial aid process, as enclosed. Award amounts vary based on the pool of candidates and the availability of funds.
Merit Scholarship – Established in 2004 by St. John’s School Board of Trustees, this scholarship is an entrance scholarship for new middle and high school students with talents in any of these areas: sports, visual arts, performing arts, leadership and community service. Merit scholarships are awarded independent of financial need. 
Benefactor Scholarships – St. John’s has a donor-centered giving program in which donors may create special scholarships or scholarship endowments. These scholarships may or may not be offered each year depending on the availability of funds.
