16 | august 8, 2019 | 22nd century media private school Guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com 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.
