How do I apply to The John Carroll School?
expand_more

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.

Admissions
What is the benefit of attending a co-ed school?
expand_more

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.

Is there bus transportation available to and from John Carroll?
expand_more

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.

Bus Information
What are John Carroll’s school day hours?
expand_more

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.

What are the benefits of the eight-day academic cycle?
expand_more

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.

What AP, college-level and honors courses does the School offer?
expand_more

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.
