The Institute of St John offers formation in philosophy and theology to all those who wish to deepen their understanding of truth and reality. The complexity of today’s world challenges our ways of thinking, our values and our beliefs; it often leaves us struggling to make sense of our experience. The ISJ gives people a place to think about the great questions that concern us as human beings and as believers in today’s world; it offers a formation that allows people to reflect profoundly and intelligently on these questions, both from a philosophical and a Christian standpoint.

The ISJ is run by the brothers of St John, a religious community of the Roman Catholic Church. At the heart of the life of the brothers of St John is the search for the truth; they wish to share this search with anybody who is thirsty to understand reality more deeply in all its richness and complexity.
