St. John Bosco Academy

Originally founded in 1997 as Summit Academy, with the school's classroom located in a home basement, the school steadily grew from one teacher and 14 students from Kindergarten through 5th grade to graduating their first high school class in 2005. A new building was opened in 2002 with five classrooms, computer lab and gymnasium on 40 donated acres on the north end of Cottonwood. The school continued to expand with additions in 2014, 2020 and 2024. In 2017, the school received provisional affiliation with the Diocese of Boise. On July 1, 2019, the school changed its name to St. John Bosco Academy to better reflect their Catholic foundation.^[2][8] It was named after John Bosco, an Italian Catholic priest, educator and writer.
