Founded in 1696, the third oldest school in the United States, St. John’s distinctive liberal arts curriculum and educational practices have long given it a highly respected place among American colleges and universities. We are out of the mainstream, even the academic mainstream. What St. John's College offers is not the liberal arts as defined by other schools -- a "tasting menu" of various subject matters or academic disciplines -- but a deep immersion in the enduring classics of Western civilization. Its strong commitment to collaborative inquiry and to the study of original texts makes St. John’s College a particularly vibrant community of learning.
