JOHN JALSEVAC grew up in Toronto, in a large Catholic family of eight. He is the proud father of six (with number seven on the way). He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (Theology minor) from Christendom College, and a Masters in Theology from the University of Toronto.

John is currently a PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of Toronto (Centre for Medieval Studies), where he is a Faculty of Arts and Science Top (FAST) Fellow, and a winner of the Canada Graduate Scholarship. He is also the winner of the 2022 American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly's "Rising Scholar" award.

His dissertation, which he expects to defend in the Spring/Summer of 2023, is a study of Thomas Aquinas's Philosophy of Memory.

Outside of academia, by his own description, John is a proud father, and an indiscriminate pursuer of hobbies including gardening (of a garden that somehow continues to grow every year) beekeeping, beer brewing, singing, piano playing, languages, martial artist, running, power lifting and writing poetry/fiction and general life enthusiast.

With his education, knowledge, deep love for our faith, the importance he puts on family, and his recognition of the wonderful distinction of classical education, our school is in expert hands.
