It's time to discover what it means to be a John Carroll Patriot! Join us at one of our Discovering John Carroll events, where parents/guardians dive into understanding more about the world of admissions, academics, student life and scholarships, while students take part in an engaging, hands-on activity.
The application process begins in your eighth-grade year and is a multi-step process. Our Admissions Office is here to guide you every step of the way, from Shadow Day visits to submitting your application in December.
Co-education creates a real-life comradeship. According to research performed by the American Council for Co-Educational Schooling (ACCES), co-education enhances communication and collaboration among young men and women while building relationships. Learning how to solve problems and work effectively with members of the opposite sex is a fundamental skill that is imperative for success beyond the educational setting.
Yes! There are bus routes from Jarrettsville to Kingsville to Perryville with many stops in between. Families can choose from round-trip and one-way options and a variety of payment plans. For additional information and to sign up for bus transportation, visit the link below.
During the school year, the academic day begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 2:45 p.m., with the exception of early dismissal days. Early dismissal days occur once every eight-day cycle with dismissal at 2:15 p.m. The School is currently operating under summer hours — Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
The eight-day cycle allows for optimal instruction because it varies the time of day the student has the class. It also helps students avoid missing the same class each week for sports games and other extracurricular events that may occur on the same day of the week.
John Carroll currently offers 50+ AP and Honors courses and has special diploma distinctions including Fine Arts and Science, plus the new AP Capstone diploma.
