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.

We LOVE PJ23! We are so lucky to have found the most wonderful caring, supportive, and diverse community with outstanding teachers and staff! In additional to an excellent and rigorous curriculum, PJ23 also provides our kids with social, emotional learning. Our children are growing up to be caring, empathetic, understanding children who embrace and appreciate their friend's differences, and who want to be kind. We are so thankful that we chose PJ23 for preschool. Though we originally planned to move to Evanston Public Schools for kindergarten, we knew a good thing when we saw it. We couldn`t be happier that we stayed!

Amazing school! We moved to Evanston for the public school system, but feel in love with PJ23 and could not leave after preschool. The community, teachers, small class sizes and academics are what kept us here. We are excited for our second child to attend!

We love this school! We have been a part of this community for 10+ years and our oldest is thriving in high school. He was well prepared and found the transition into high school a breeze. The teachers are top notch and the community is warm, welcoming, and diverse.

The best decision we ever made was to send our 4 kids to Pope John XXIII School. We transferred from another local catholic school and at the time of the transfer, our kids were so behind in what they should have been. The amazing teachers got our kids where they should have been and more...when our now junior in high school graduates from PJ23, she placed in ALL AP courses and tested into Latin 3 at a CPs school! Our remaining here kids are thriving and excelling! The school community couldn`t be any more welcoming and inclusive. I cannot stress enough how lucky we are to have come to PJ23.

Fantastic environment! Supports a variety of interests and assists the needs of varied learning styles with ease. The school respects the children and the families. The homework is substantive and the projects in school are rich in content.
