St. John's Jesuit Academy is one of two schools at St. John's Jesuit, the other being St. John's Jesuit High School. The Academy was established in the 2004-2005 school year. Its current enrollment is held at 30 seventh graders and 30 eighth graders but plans are in toe to possibly expand to 100. The students can use all of the facilities of the college-prep high school but primarily study in their own private wing. Often, students take some of the requisite high-school courses in the Academy before enrollment in the High School; as a result, many Academy students can take many more AP courses at the end of their high-school study. The Academy has a budding sports, music, and art program. The students attend all Masses and Prayer Services with the High School. The students of the Academy are paired with "Big Brothers" in the the Senior High and take part in activities with them often.
