Academic Programs
We take pride in having an academically excellent curriculum. SJJ students consistently score in the top percentiles on the Iowa Basic Skill Tests, which are standardized achievement assessments. Our students are also routinely recognized for their academic achievements in other areas, for example, our academic teams have been awarded the St. Edward’s High School Academic Grand Championship more than any other school. Moreover, our students are routinely awarded Academic Scholarships and Merit Scholarships to area Catholic high schools each year.
