Saint John's Preparatory School is a Catholic/Benedictine, co-educational, day and boarding college preparatory school for students in grades 6-12, with boarding options beginning in the 9th grade. Saint John's Prep is located on the 3,000 acres of woods and lakes of Saint John's University's campus in central Minnesota.

Faculty Residents will oversee and interact dynamically with students in the hall and academic building; suggest, create, and participate in activities; provide academic instruction and tutoring to support academic performance; communicate with school personnel as needed; make decisions related to discipline and safety issues and administer medications and other duties.
