Why Choose Saint John the Baptist Middle School?
We understand that the middle school years are crucial for preparing young boys and girls to become confident and well-rounded young men and women as they prepare for the transition to high school. Choosing the right middle school is a critical decision that profoundly influences a young person's formative years. At SJBMS we provide a unique educational experience that fosters academic achievement and personal growth in a nurturing environment. We prioritize a comprehensive educational experience rooted in the rich traditions of the Catholic faith, yet open and welcoming to students of all faiths and backgrounds throughout the Wasatch Front.
Our philosophy extends beyond academics. We aim to develop students who are emotionally, socially, and spiritually prepared for life's challenges.
Our curriculum includes academic excellence and creative disciplines like art, music, physical education, and Spanish - each designed to prepare students for high school and beyond. Advanced courses in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, alongside diverse electives, challenge students and foster a love of learning.
Students participate in a range of service activities and community-building events, such as St. Martha’s Baby Project and dances, enhancing their social experiences and personal development.
Commitment to Community and Leadership Development
SJBMS is more than just a school; it's a values-centered community where students are encouraged to have opportunities for self-expression, leadership, and collaboration. Our educational approach is designed to cultivate a sense of responsibility and a commitment to positive change, enriching students' understanding of the world and enhancing their role as global citizens.
Tailored Learning Experiences and Engagement Beyond the Classroom
Recognizing that each student is unique, we tailor learning experiences to individual interests and abilities. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to excellence in teaching and mentorship, providing an environment where students receive the support they need to excel.
SJBMS provides a comprehensive educational journey where your child will not only achieve academic milestones but also grow into a well-rounded individual equipped to navigate the challenges of high school and beyond. Combining strong academics, leadership, Catholic social teachings, and community, we prepare students to lead lives of significance and service, embodying the values of integrity and faith.
A Seamless Transition to High School
Through our close partnership with Juan Diego Catholic High School, we offer unique opportunities for advanced academic experiences, aiding our students' maturation and preparation for the challenges of high school. With small class sizes and a closely-knit community atmosphere, we ensure personalized attention for each student, encouraging them to explore their creativity, engage in athletics, and participate in community service.
Cultivate Character Through Growing in Faith and Action
SJBMS invites students of all faiths to develop and nurture their own spiritual identity in a values-centered environment. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, the School makes time for prayer and reflection at regular chapel services, all-school Masses, sacraments, retreats, and special liturgies. Through honest introspection and service learning, students cultivate character, integrity, and compassion as they become ethical leaders and decision-makers.
SJBMS spiritual life program awakens a consciousness of social justice in our students. Our students build awareness about injustice in our local and global communities, advocate for those in need, and ignite action through hands-on service and philanthropic initiatives. They are inspired to be forces of justice and agents of change, opening doors so others can do the same. Students learn to live the faith by putting the Gospel into action. Service is a loving response to others’ needs–it is both an encounter with God and a response to God’s love.
