With roots dating back to 1820, SJR has made a lot of promises to countless students. We wouldn't be here today if we'd failed to keep them. We believe that young minds must be stimulated by a first-class academic program, delivered by exceptional teachers. That's job #1. But the future will demand that its leaders be creative, innovative, and flexible enough to see a problem from many sides. That's why we work so hard to provide a character education as much as an academic one. That's why you'll find a full roster of sports, arts, co-curricular activities, and philanthropic works that round out the complete SJR experience. At SJR, we are not teaching children; we are developing the adults they will become. The world is in great need of these graduates — individuals who have the skill, intelligence and, most importantly, the passion to make a difference.
