- St. John's is a single college with two campuses, one in Annapolis, Maryland, and another in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The campuses share an identical curriculum and a single governing board. Each campus is limited to under 500 students, and the faculty-student ratio is 1 to 8.
- The College was founded in Annapolis in 1696 as King William's School and chartered in 1784 as St. John's College. A second campus was opened in 1964 in Santa Fe. St. John's is a four-year, co-educational, liberal arts college with no religious affiliation.
- The 36-acre eastern campus is located in the heart of historic Annapolis, which is the capital of Maryland and also a seaport town close to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Nestled at 7300 feet above sea level in the Sangre de Christo Mountains, the 250-acre Santa Fe campus offers both spectacular scenery and the cultural attractions of the Southwest.
- Both campuses offer extensive intramural sports programs and extracurricular art courses. Each has soundproof music practice rooms, an art gallery, and a music library. Major clubs and activities include student government, a newspaper, a yearbook, a film society, drama groups, a literary magazine, and opportunities for community service. The Annapolis campus has easy access to boating, sailing, and crew, while the Santa Fe campus offers skiing, hiking, and mountain rescue.
- St. John's is accredited by the Maryland State Department of Education, by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, by the American Academy for Liberal Education and by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
