St. John’s Jesuit

What St. John’s Jesuit does

St. John's Jesuit High School & Academy is a private, non-profit Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition, located on a single campus at 5901 Airport Highway in Toledo, Ohio. Originally founded as a university in 1898, the institution was re-established as a four-year college-preparatory high school in 1965 and expanded in 2004 with the addition of the Academy, an all-boys middle school program for grades 6-8, making the modern school a grades 6-12 institution serving approximately 725 students with a 12:1 student-faculty ratio. The school draws students from more than 75 Northwest Ohio elementary schools and operates within the oversight of the Diocese of Toledo and the Midwest Province of the Society of Jesus, with a 10,000+ alumni network.

The institution delivers its academic and formation programs through a layered portfolio: the Academy (middle school, one of only 16 Gurian Model Schools in the U.S.), the high school program offering 20 AP and 28 Honors courses, the A+ Learning Center (used by 80% of the student body), the Magis Society academic enrichment cohort, the World As One international exchange program, and the Jesuit Scholars Program providing tuition accessibility to under-resourced students. Operational technology is built on commodity edtech infrastructure — PowerSchool (SIS), Schoology (LMS), Edmentum (online courses), Microsoft 365, Google Meet, PaySchools Central, and FACTS Grant & Aid — with a proprietary SJJ mobile app for iOS/Android as the primary parent-student engagement channel, and a recently added Inner Peak AI mental wellness app for high school students.

Revenue is generated primarily through published annual tuition of $17,950 (2026-2027) offset by more than $3 million in financial aid (over 85% of families receive assistance), supplemented by the Titan Annual Fund, 150+ named scholarship endowments, the St. John's Jesuit SGO (Ohio tax-credit scholarship channel), the Dancing Under the Dome annual fundraiser, state scholarship passthroughs (EdChoice, Jon Peterson), and the EdChoice Expansion and Northwest Ohio Scholarship Fund programs. Distribution is fully direct-to-consumer through the school's own admissions office, with diocesan 8th-grade outreach, parish referrals, alumni referrals, and campus-visit programs (Titan for a Day, virtual tours) serving as the primary acquisition channels.
