FLORIDA STUDIES PROGRAM

The St. John mission states that students learn “the motivation to look within and beyond themselves so that they become responsible, contributing members of community life.” Our Florida community is unique, rich in heritage, resources and incredible beauty. The Florida Studies Program offers an opportunity to learn, both in the classroom and off campus, about Florida and creates a venue for the St. John students to actively participate in giving back to the communities we visit.
