St. John Bosco Academy

Independent private Catholic school recognized and approved by and within the Diocese of Bois. Since 1997 St. John Bosco Academy (called Summit Academy from 1997-2019) has been serving the local demand of the Camas Prairie for a K-12 education grounded in the Catholic faith. St. John Bosco Academy is a living example of the Prairie’s values of faith, family, and community. Our alumni's strong family values, staunch work ethic, and passionate faith impact many universities and employers.

St. John Bosco Academy's mission to form strong Catholic leaders continues through the assistance of our generous benefactors, dedicated faculty and staff, and the passion and commitment of our school community. We work to form well-rounded Catholic leaders convinced of the truth, who will leave their mark in shaping a new civilization of justice and love, spreading the Kingdom of Christ by taking their place as responsible and qualified leaders in the family, in the community, in the Church, and in the world.

To Teach the Mind: Giving students a foundation in the truth in all subjects so they can study, analyze, and build upon this foundation. Truth is the foundation of knowledge from which all other learning flows. To Educate the Heart: Educating a student's heart and senses with a love for what is right, good, noble, just and beautiful through the study of arts, literature, and Christianity. To Form the Character: Encouraging and helping to form in each student a sense of responsibility, service to others, integrity in word and deed, perseverance, manners and a practice of the virtues.

We work to form well-rounded Christian leaders, apostles convinced of the truth, who will leave their mark in shaping a new civilization of justice and love and who will help spread the Kingdom of Christ by taking their place as responsible and qualified leaders in the family, in the community, in the Church, and in the world.
