The reason why John Paul the Great Academy specifically stands out is because of the commitment to do in excellence everything, whether it be school work, spiritual formation, or sports, for the greater glory of God—AD MAJORIAM DEI GLORIAM—and we do this as a family.

God has taught me more than imaginable. I thank this school with my whole heart for without this school I would be a person of this earth and not of God.

Even with all of these fantastic blessings, I think the most important one is this school’s commitment to God, and to a true Catholic education. Not once does any other aspect of the school’s focus take precedence over prayer, commitment to truth, or excellence in virtue.

It's truly a tragedy that all of the hard work put in by the families, faculty, students, and our virtuous headmaster, may come to a halt, and no longer be able to help those young men and women who need it the most. I received five years of this help, and am prepared for near anything that comes my way, but I am saddened that those who just enrolled or were planning to enroll, who will never be able to fully enjoy this school, receive it's gifts of knowledge, or be truly prepared to go out into the world and firmly stand up for their Faith.

The most upsetting part of not being able to continue as a school to me would be the fact that this bond of a “family” and such a close-knit group of people would be broken. Not only would the students of all ages be split up among other schools, but all of these families who have given so much of their lives to this school will no longer be able to be apart of it. This school is unique in offering such a traditional Catholic education to all students, and should be able to continue it's mission.
