Mini-Course Week 2025

What is Mini-Course Week? Mini-Course Week is one of St. John’s School’s most popular programs! Over three days, middle school students dive into exciting subjects, discovering potential lifelong hobbies, interests, or even career paths. Past courses have included photography, sewing, architecture, fly tying, survival skills, CPR, astronomy, and more. The possibilities are endless!

We Need You! Make Mini-Course Week unforgettable by sharing your passion! We’re looking for parents, parishioners, alumni, and community members to teach engaging courses based on their favorite hobbies, careers, or skills.
