In preparation for the International Day for Tolerance on November 16, 2024, our Senior School Community Service Club led activities last week. During advisory, students discussed ways to make our school and community more welcoming and respectful, creating posters that are now displayed in the student lounge. To raise awareness, we also hosted a "Colour Day" on Friday, inviting everyone to wear blue in support of UNESCO’s message of tolerance. This day reaffirms UNESCO’s principles, celebrating respect and appreciation for the diversity that enriches our community.
SJR is proud to be accredited and affiliated with several local, national and international educational organizations.
St. John’s-Ravenscourt School was founded in 1820 principally to serve the children of the Selkirk settlers. By 1834 there were forty students, evenly split between boys and girls. SJR has inevitably grown and changed over the years since, though its success throughout has been unimpeachable. Today the programs are as strong as our reputation. A strong academic program is paired with an equally strong attention to the values of stewardship, ethical leadership, and excellence in all areas of academic, social and athletic life.
