Saint John of San Francisco Orthodox Academy is an Orthodox coeducational, non-profit, full-time, college-preparatory day school founded in 1994 for grades K-12, with its academic calendar scheduled around the Orthodox calendar of feast days and services. The language of instruction is English.
St. John’s aims to participate with parents in the development of Orthodox children who are well informed in both liberal arts and modern sciences, and are equipped with the knowledge of Orthodox faith and ethics that will enable them to live as devout Orthodox Christians.
The Academy expects its pupils to be active in church life; to develop their Christian consciousness; to practice prayer and follow Orthodox religious traditions; to maintain healthy and obedient relations with their parents, relatives, and teachers; to strive for excellence in intellectual pursuits; and to grow as useful members of society who practice true Christian love towards others and true Orthodox piety towards God.
