I am a very old graduate of St. John's. As a matter of fact, I attended St John's way back when it…read morewas just called St John's Military Academy. I was blessed to have been sent there by my parents "to straighten me out". It was truly, the best thing that ever happened to me... not that I thought I needed straightening out. St. John's created the environment where I could concentrate on the important on coursework and sports that I needed and/or enjoyed. We marched to breakfast, lunch and dinner. We marched to church (or were bussed to the church of our choice.) I attended for three years and it became the most important three years of my life. My Latin teacher taught me how to think and how to obtain my goals in life. I loved math, biology and physics. I was captain of the gymnastics team. It was an absolute positive experience. I graduated in 1959. I attended college (Engineering), then joined the United States Coast Guard. They sent me to US Navy Flight Training and I became a Coast Guard Air/Sea Rescue pilot for 7-years. United Airlines then hired me to fly for them. After 15 years with United, they brought me into upper management where I Worked and flew as a Flight Standards Captain, flying Boeing 747's around the world. I flew until age 60 (Mandatory retirement age back then), with over 20,400 hours of flight time. Thank you St. John's! You made that all possible. I have two younger brothers who also graduated from St. John's and they both were as successful as I was in adult life.

I graduated from the Academy in 2011 as the class Valedictorian. I continued my studies at…read moreGeorgetown University's School of Foreign Service and now serve as a Presidential Escort (US Army Officer) in Washington, DC. St. John's provided me with the foundational instruments necessary to succeed as a young adult. I took every opportunity for growth at the Academy and earned numerous scholarships for my freshman year of college. You will not find another military academy where half of the student body is international and the faculty truly care for their cadets. I still keep in touch with several teachers and classmates of mine. Dave and Bike's prior post on the school's curriculum and their own inability to succeed in college is entirely due to their indolent behavior and poor study habits. No student should have below a 3.6 GPA at St. John's. Academic resources are available for all cadets. I would gladly recommend the school to any student who has a desire to reach beyond his or her potential.

Amazing school. Lake Geneva is a small town of ~7500 folks. Most towns of this size with schools…read moreare, um, meh. This place rocks. Totally renovated and nothing like my high school in NYC (more prison less school but I digress). In addition to the exterior the interior is renovated as well. Lots of caring dedicated teacher type people and the support staff rock. Loads of AP classes for the cerebrally inclined and sports opportunities up the wazoo. All this and loads of yellow busses. All all of that up and you have a special place. Rock on badger high. Rock on.
