Leadership lives at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy
Beyond the gates of St. John’s
Northwestern Military Academy
lies a historic institution that has
prepared teens for college and a
lifetime of opportunity for 135
years.
“We attract a diverse group
of young boys and girls capable
of significant achievement and
looking for guidance on how to
maximize their potential,” said
Tom Stocks, president of St.
John’s Northwestern and a 1969
alumnus.
St. John’s Northwestern (SJN-
MA) opened in 1884 as a private,
college preparatory and leadership
development school. In
1995, it merged with Northwestern
Military and Naval Academy
of Lake Geneva to become St.
John’s Northwestern. Nestled in
the center of beautiful Delafield,
Wisc., SJNMA is principally a
boarding school for boys and
girls, grades 7-12; while also offering
an active day student program
to the local community.
SJNMA follows a long-established
military format for
the benefit of structure, and the
advancement of honor, dignity
and respect. Hundreds of
its graduates have been admitted
to the Five Military Service
Academies, and the overwhelming
majority advance to notable
colleges and universities.
Prominent alumni include Curtis
“Buzz” Roosevelt, the actor
Spencer Tracy and Martin Torrijos
Espino, former president of
the Republic of Panama.
The academic curriculum at
St. John’s Northwestern features
a student-instructor ratio that
allows for personal support by
highly dedicated faculty.
“Individual attention and
classroom interaction optimize
mastery of the subject matter,
and the learning process itself,”
said Dr. Eric Wozniak, SJNMA’s
Headmaster.
In addition, cadets learn outside
the classroom through field
trips, excursions, community
service and study abroad. Diploma
options include STEM Honors,
Humanities Honors, as well
as technical diplomas and paths
to earn dual college credit. St.
John’s Northwestern also offers
courses in English as a Second
Language, music, art, engineering,
technology and aviation.
St. John’s Northwestern places
a high value on faith formation
as a foundation for solid character
development. Cadets are
taught the importance of service
before self through a variety of
community service activities.
The stunning Noble Victory
Chapel — St. John the Divine,
was constructed by highly-dedicated
returning cadets serving
in World War I. The chapel is
part of the Episcopal Diocese of
Milwaukee and is celebrating its
100th anniversary.
A commitment to athletics and
wellness is yet another important
pillar of SJNMA’s program.
“Through varsity-level competition
or intramural sports or activities,
athletic competition instills
valuable life lessons such as
teamwork, dedication, and good
sportsmanship” said Mike Fink,
SJNMA’s Athletic Director.
A variety of sports are offered,
including football, basketball,
baseball, cross country, wrestling,
swimming, golf, tennis and
lacrosse.
The Academy’s 110-acre campus
is a sight to behold. The
beautiful terrain is accented by
historic early-20th Century architecture
and features a ninehole
golf course, impressive outdoor
athletic complex, obstacle
course, tennis courts and indoor
swimming pool.
St. John’s Northwestern is
rated a top Christian boarding
school by Boarding School Review
and received a perfect score
at the 2019 JROTC Program
of Accreditation review. Open
houses are held every month for
families to tour the campus, meet
the leadership, and learn about
the various scholarship and financial
aid options available.
