St. John Public and Private Schools

Public school students attend the Julius E. Sprauve School in Cruz Bay, which runs through the ninth grade, or the Guy Benjamin School in Coral Bay, for kindergarten through grade six. Public school students take the ferry to Ivanna Eudora Kean High School at Red Hook. Ferry service is free to all students with Government issued passes. Many parents elect to enroll their children in private schools.
