Athletics, Clubs and Extracurricular activities are important offerings to support the physical and mental health and development of our students. Opportunities are offered to students in a variety of grades after school hours.

In Athletics, St. John’s has basketball and soccer teams for students in grades 5-8.

St. John’s is also a participant in the Diocesan Northern Virginia Junior Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). This organization provides sports leagues which are an important component of comprehensive youth ministry in several diocesan parishes. These activities aim to foster cooperation, respect, sportsmanship, responsibility, leadership, competitiveness, fairness, and courtesy. St. John’s offers CYO teams in basketball and volleyball for students in grades 3-8.

Additionally, we offer a variety of after school clubs including tennis, chess, knitting, and more.

The Office of Child Protection and Victim Assistance in the Catholic Diocese of Arlington provides opportunities to report abuse, heal from abuse, and find support. Additionally, this office works to ensure that all children and youth in programs throughout the diocese have a safe environment full of caring and responsible adults to watch over them.

The Office of Child Protection performs background checks and safe environment training for adults and youth in accordance with the requirements of the USCCB Charter on the Protection of Children. For more information visit their website at https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/child-protection/
