2025 School Year: St John’s Preparatory Houghton

Founded in 1970, St John’s Pre-Preparatory for little boys in Grades 0, 1 and 2, offers a creative and stimulating environment that encourages the individual child’s development. The Pre-Prep equips its little boys with the cognitive, physical, emotional and social skills necessary for a happy and confident start to their school careers, trusting that they will become accomplished, successful, life-long learners.

The Pre-Prep is an exciting space not closely connected to correctness but rather connected to thoughtfulness. Sharing ideas of cooperation promotes a culture of understanding and appreciation where all thoughts are valued, and all encounters are seen as opportunities to learn.

Reading is the heart of Prep-Prep, where little boys are encouraged to use the well-stocked library. They also enjoy weekly art, drama, music, IT, and sports classes with special teachers and coaches.

A physiotherapist, occupational therapist and educational psychologist are also available to offer academic support as required.

The Grade 0s enjoy a weekly visit from the St John’s College Chaplains, and the Grade 1s and 2s attend an age-appropriate Anglican service in The Memorial Chapel at the College each week.

When the boys finish Grade 2, they are well prepared to graduate to the next stage of their school career at St John’s Preparatory.
