Established on 18 January, 1904, it is also one of the oldest schools in the city. St John's Institution is located on Jalan Bukit Nanas, a short distance from St John's Primary School down the road, and Convent Bukit Nanas up the road. Students of the school are called the Johannians.
St John's Institution is largely a boys school. With the exception of co-educational classes for Form Six, it is exclusively for boys from Forms 1 - 5. The school was founded by Catholic missionaries of De La Salle Christian Brothers Order, named after their patron saint, Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, regarded as the Patron Saint of Teachers. The school sits on a large tract of land owned by the Roman Catholic Church which extends on both sides of Bukit Nanas, and includes the St John's Cathedral and subsidiary organisations.
