School Notes
SJB is a co-ed Catholic school in Silver Spring with a strong
emphasis on community, inclusion, and high academic standards. At
SJB, there is a warm feeling of belonging. There is one class per
grade, from pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade. Most of our
graduates go on to the Catholic high schools that they choose, and
many receive academic scholarships ($210,000 offered to 28
graduates in 2016). There are always after-school events and
activities. SJB is where you feel you belong.
I was worried about my kid going to a new school but my fears were quickly squashed by the amazing parents of my kids'' classmates.The teachers are quick to respond to any concerns a parent has.The parents are very involved with the school.I was so impressed by the school that I transferred all my kids there.

St. John the Baptist Catholic School has an excellent academic program and an amazing community. I have three boys currently in the lower grades in the school. I have had such a positive experience with the teachers helping make accommodations for our one son with ADHD. The principal is top-notch allowing the teachers to pursue their passions in the classroom and running a tight ship. The parent community is very active and supportive.
