ABOUT ST JOHN:
 
St. John School offers a traditional academic curriculum designed to challenge each student. The school consists of Elementary students (grades pre-K–5) and Middle School students (grades 6 – 8). The curriculum for all grades emphasizes literacy, critical thinking and problem solving. We endeavor to instill in our students a love of learning, to live Christian values, and to serve in their community. 
 
While St John has separate academic programs for the Elementary and Middle Schools, we promote regular interaction between the two student bodies. The result is a family-like atmosphere and a positive environment in the school.
 
A family-like atmosphere ensures that teachers personally know students, students are kept safe, and parents are welcome partners.
 
Academic excellence is a hallmark of St. John School. Class sizes are limited in order to provide each student with individual attention.
 
Whether a student needs the challenge to excel or the guidance and encouragement to succeed, the dedicated staff and low student-teacher ratio make it all possible.
