Holistic Education in a Supportive Environment
Our mission is to foster the holistic development of our students—balancing intellectual growth with emotional, moral, and spiritual well-being. 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.
Since our founding in 1999, we have integrated strong spiritual values into every aspect of our school life, supporting students in their journey to become leaders of tomorrow:
- By providing an intellectually challenging academic program that ignites curiosity and sparks a lifelong love of learning;
- Offering a wide range of extracurricular activities that unlock opportunities for self-expression, leadership, and collaboration;
- Prioritizing a values-centered environment that cultivates character, compassion, and a commitment to social justice; and a caring community and a culture of belonging that ensures each student is known, supported, and valued.
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
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.
Service in Action
At St. John the Baptist Middle School, we strive to grow in our discipleship, in both our personal and collective call to be the hands of Jesus. 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.
