Jesus instructed:  "Go then, to all peoples everywhere and make my disciples; baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be there with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28: 19-21).

Since 1955, St. John Brebeuf Catholic School has educated the children of Niles, Illinois, and surrounding communities.

In a statement developed by SJB School teachers and staff in April 2017, there are four core components of our school’s mission:

Faith:  We believe in God and our faith leads us in our daily lives.

Community:  Each member of the school and parish community plays an important role in the growth and success of our children.

Mindset:  We believe in the power of “Yet.” We encourage students to embrace their learning journey and develop a never-ending passion for knowledge.

Academic:  We emphasize academic excellence by focusing on physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth.

SJB School is a family. We are a community that is racially, ethnically, and economically diverse. Through a focus on personalized learning and deep Catholic faith, SJB School provides rigorous preparation for student success in high school, college, and life.
