St John's College is an independent school founded to provide an academic education in a Christian environment inspired by the teachings of St John Baptist de la Salle. The religious order which St John initiated still supports a network of schools in this country and a total of some 1300 throughout the world.
The site is in the heart of Southsea, a few hundred yards from the seafront with its abundance of maritime history. The campus is designed to facilitate smooth transition from the Lower School to the Upper School and onto our Sixth Form. The welfare of each individual is paramount and the needs of the person as a whole are developed ... physical, educational, emotional and spiritual. A feature of the feedback to the school from our parents is the feeling of security which we foster in all boys and girls.
The school is co-educational and admission is usually by assessment. Though originally of a Catholic foundation, St John's continues to welcome all Christian denominations and other faiths. The commitment of the staff to each boy and girl is second to none, and all pupils must commit themselves to a full and honest effort in return.
