The John Carroll School has a well-established international student program that supports and furthers our mission to develop students who will embrace opportunities and excel as leaders in the global society.

For the 2021-2022 academic year, 17 international students from 10 countries were enrolled at John Carroll.

First-year international students participate in a mentorship program which pairs them with American students who are interested in building international friendships. International students also participate in excursions to cities such as Washington, D.C. and New York and attend special events such as our Annual International Student Luncheon & Dinner and yearly Lunar New Year Celebration.

At The John Carroll School, each student is known, valued and prepared.

From the time they arrive for freshman orientation to the moment they walk confidently across the graduation stage, our students are both nurtured and challenged by our stellar faculty and staff to become the best possible versions of themselves. On the grounds of our beautiful, 72-acre campus, they will receive a world-class education close to home, at the only coeducational, independent Catholic high school in northeastern Maryland.

But what really sets John Carroll apart are the stories of each and every Patriot–students, alumni, parents, faculty and staff–that are written every day, both inside and far beyond the classroom walls. John Carroll provides transformative experiences that not only provide a lifetime of memories, but prepare tomorrow’s leaders today to make a tremendous impact on their communities, and on the world. Build a robot or pilot a drone in the STEAM Academy. Express yourself on the stage in the College Preparatory Dance Program or one of our award-winning theatre productions. Explore future careers for your Senior Project or go on a life-changing mission trip. Bond with teammates on the athletic field, or on the Academic team.  Whatever your passion, John Carroll has a class or extracurricular activity to help you develop it.

We invite you to come visit and start your Patriot story today.

Sincerely,

Carl Patton, Principal
Steve DiBiagio, President

A Message from the Director

Could JC be your new home away from home?

At John Carroll, we believe high school is more than just a building where you take classes. It’s where friends become family, teachers become mentors, and lifelong connections are forged. We have one mission: to educate and inspire young men and women of integrity and intellect to learn, lead and love.

As you start this important process, it is my hope that by interacting with our students, faculty, administrators, parents and alumni, you will understand this mission and get a sense of what it means to be a part of the Patriot family.

The Admissions Team is here to help you through this process, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything. I cannot wait to greet you on campus soon!

Sincerely,

Edward Maynard ’93
