[学术方面] There are plenty of courses in SJB across different fields and students enjoy them very much. Much more than basic standard classes, SJB offers honor and AP courses for students who try to enhance their capability in specific areas, and compete prerequisite for their future college. SJB is comprehensive, which students can pursue on own interests from science also computer science, literary, social studies, language, art, dance, musical, sports, and creativity. Students receive professional education and careful support after class from teachers, administrators, and all faculties. Proper assignments and researches are assigned for students to understand the subjects further. Any difficulties are solvable and teachers are much willing to help students.   [生活方面] SJB is taking care of students’ health physically and mentally. The nurse office, guidance office, and administration office are placed together that students are easily getting any help they are asking. There are quiet rooms that are set in the guidance office, and beds in the nurse’s office if students need to take a rest or reset their conditions. Also feel free to walk into a teacher’s room to ask for help or talk with them about confusion, troubles, or emotional distress, etc. SJB is located in a beautiful town the beach is near for a twenty minutes walk. It is convenient to get to NYC by an hour and a half train or drive. Shopping malls, restaurants, and parks are easy to find, which include all needs and wants that students hold.  [课外活动和社团] If it is still unsatisfactory only to take classes, various clubs provide more fun and flexibility to students’ research topics. Clubs show SJB a lot— excellent sports teams and cheer leadings, drama, chorus, orchestra, dance company and danceworks, magazine club voice and vision, fashion club, international culture exchange group, fundraise and charity group, etc. New members are always welcome!

[学术方面] The curriculum thesehn's offers is amazing and diverse. There are all sorts of levels to each subject, such as introduction classes (classes that are a slower pace for students who want to take the time to fully grasp a subject before taking it the next year) to higher level college and AP courses that are face paced, and are taught and graded as if you were in college. From there, course load varies, however teachers are very accomadating and always offer extra help if needed. Having the same guidance counselor for all 4 years really helps, because they get to know who you are as a student and as a person, and that helps them better assit you with schedualing and college decision making. Guidance counselors are also there to help and possibly give advice on how certain teachers run their classrooms, which comes in handy if you are having trouble in a specific subject. The academics can also be bent to fit you in the best way. For example, maybe you want to take an entry level math class, but an AP science - that is perfectly acceptable! Once you choose a "level" in one subject, you do not need to stick to it in every other subject. You can really cater your schedule to fit your academic desires. [生活方面] There is no dormitory. The school has heating and air conditioning located in various places. There are nearby towns where delis are located, there is a hospital across the street, and we are a few minutes away from Robert Moses beach, where many students hang out in the summer. The school has so many after-school activities that most students do not leave until 5:30 and you really feel like a family within your first month here. The time managament can easily be worked out with the help of teachers and staff if needed. Many teachers know how important sports/extracirruclars are and will help you manage school work if you ask. [申请方面] Everyone gets along here. St.John's is such a diverse community and that makes us able to incorporate a lot into our school. After being accepted, you will most likely have to do an interview. The key to the interview is just to be yourself. St.John's wants motivated students. You can talk about clubs or subjects/electives you are looking forward to taking. The people working in admissions are so nice and they just want to make sure you are the right fit. [课外活动和社团] There are over 50 clubs at St.John's, not including sports. We have all the usual sports you would find in an American school, plus some different ones like horseback riding, rowing, and bowling. New clubs are always being added to St.John's and many are student run. I play volleyball and I run track in the winter. For clubs I am in Ambassadors, Student Council, the Van Goes (service projects), Yearbook, Media (morning announcments/video production), Art club, Stained Glass, Random Acts of Kindness, the National Society of High School Honors, and Students Against Destructive Decisions.

[学术方面] 学校的课程可选择度很高，课程由难到易主要分为纽约州考课程，荣誉课程，大学学分课程和AP 课程。毕业要求完成一定数量的州考并且成绩达到65分以上，这些州考科目必须涵盖英语，数学，科学和社会学四块内容，具体数量根据学生入学时间和入校前提供的成绩而定。学科老师教学水平很强，与学生互动充分，advisor对于国际学生的关注度也很高，可以说学生可以接受到触手可及的帮助。中国学生大部分都能进入美国全国排名100 ，世界排名300 的大学。 [生活方面] 学校的伙食很丰富，附近小镇购物交通都很方便。因为长岛属于纽约州离曼哈顿比较近的地方，所以长岛上每一个小镇几乎都设有一个通往曼哈顿的火车站。学校与家长通过邮件或是社交媒体的方式联系，也会有定期的信件发送来汇报学生的成绩以及学校的活动。学校基础设施齐全，冷暖适宜。 [申请方面] 我们这一届大概有50个中国学生申请，全数录取。录取后的报到率在百分之九十五以上。面试途径有视频，学校来访等等。我被录取的主要优势是我的托福成绩。学校大约有150个中国籍学生（因为学校本身学生基数大），占总数的十分之一，同学们都能融入学校生活，同学之间关系也很融洽。以我为例，我身边有很多美国朋友，我们经常会一起逛街，看比赛或者一起结伴出门看电影。他们也能在学习上给予我很多的帮助。 [住家方面] 住家由学校安排。因为国际生服务部（UTP）就开设在校内，所以交流起来相对方便。住家硬件条件设施都很棒，与住家关系也很融洽。如果遇到无法沟通的问题或是在住家住的不习惯，只要提出合适的理由，和UTP的老师沟通，就可以得到妥善的处理，也有更换住家的可能，不会有让学生为难的情况。大部分情况下如果提前沟通，住家在交通上可以提供帮助，UTP也可以提供交通上的帮助。如果是在学校有课外活动，学校的校车服务也很方便，大部分时间不需要住家接送。生活的社区条件不错，治安也很好。课下或是假期住家也会安排一些活动，小到偶尔出门吃饭或是庆祝生日，大到开车出门旅行都可能。住家与学校间通过邮件和信件联系，再由UTP直接和学生家长联系，减少了很多语言上的不便。 [课外活动和社团] 学校的很多社团都很有特点，所有的学生都可以在这里找到适合自己的社团。大陆孩子一般会选择美术，羽毛球，网球，高尔夫，乒乓球，数学竞赛，合唱队等社团。我在校的两年（之前转学到这所学校）参加了学校的合唱队并且升入最高级别的合唱队，阿卡贝拉人声组，音乐剧表演，全球大使俱乐部（现任主席），数学竞赛队以及唱诗班。学校的田径队（越野跑），排球队，曲棍球队，羽毛球队，游泳队等都很强。其中田径队规模最大，屡次蝉联长岛教会学校体育联盟冠军。
