* St. John Bosco Schools is an independent school.  We are not affiliated with the Diocese of Rochester, we do not receive any financial support from the Diocese of Rochester or any of its institutions or parishes, nor do we claim the title of "Catholic School" in accordance with c.803.3.  We respect the jurisdiction of the local Bishop in matters relevant to instruction in the doctrines and beliefs of the Catholic Faith.

St. John Bosco Schools is a member of the National Association of Private Catholic* Independent Schools (NAPC*IS).  The word Catholic appears in the name of the NAPC*IS organization only to reflect the fact that some member schools have received the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority in their diocese to bear the title Catholic School in accordance with c.803.3. NAPC*IS claims no authority to determine if a member school may bear this title, nor does membership in NAPC*IS permit a school to call itself Catholic.
