In 2012, Saint John Paul II Catholic School became under the direction of the Diocese of St. Petersburg. By challenging our students to reach their full God-given potential, SJP2 helps every child develop a spirit of love, service and respect. Our school community provides a nurturing environment where teachers care about each student’s development. Inspired by Saint John Paul II and rooted in the Catholic faith, our mission is to develop young people who strive for academic excellence, recognize the dignity of each individual and foster service to others.
Saint John Paul II Catholic School is dedicated to forming faithful, loving, and honorable disciples determined to serve our global community. Through a commitment to academic excellence, our Catholic virtues and Apostolic traditions guide us to learn about Christ and inspire others.
Saint John Paul II Catholic School provides an unparalleled education for children in grades EC3 – 8th grades. We are committed to academic excellence and to developing each student in an environment that celebrates Catholic Social Teachings. Our curriculum, instruction, and assessments work together to develop students that are not only knowledgeable, faith-filled, and compassionate, but also students who demonstrate the skills of collaboration, critical thinking, and concern for others so that they leave our school prepared to be leaders in high school and in our 21st century global society.
