The PJ23 community has been a wonderful school family! Our children have attended the preschool and we will continue their invaluable faith education into primary school. The preschool teachers are caring, thoughtful, easily accessible and outright AMAZING! I cannot imagine a more robust or loving environment for our kids to get prepared for Kindergarten and learn critical skills such as teamwork, kindness and emotional awareness. I am constantly inspired by the energy, creativity and care that these educators bring to young children. School administrators are responsive, accessible and faith driven. PJ23 is committed to diversity and equity; our family feels welcomed.

I am from Chicago and originally went to Pope John XXIII as a stop gap for kindergarten after not getting into any CPS magnets from the lottery. That was 3 years ago and I cannot imagine my son going anywhere else. The teachers and staff are amazing. They really know the children and bring out the best in them. The academics are extremely impressive and I feel confident my son will be able to go to the high school of his choice. The community is welcoming and supportive of all families. We are forever grateful for this school.
