Academic excellence is our greatest strength at St. John School. We offer a broad, well-rounded curriculum taught by superior teachers and our students excel as a result. SJS Students consistently score well above the national average on standardized tests, achieving success at each grade level in preparation for the next stage of academic growth. Even students who have failed to thrive in other educational environments often find they are able to reach new academic heights in our classrooms. Our graduates have proven to be exceptionally well-prepared for high school. Many are accepted into selective academic programs at the high school level, with St. John alumni regularly graduating at the top of their class at multiple area high schools.
The faith-based curriculum at St. John School is a pillar of our identity and what sets our school apart from other educational institutions. Rooted in the principals of Catholic Christianity, the students at St. John School are taught Biblical scripture, inclusivity, and sound moral values that help develop strong character and purpose that will help them through life.
We believe a strong foundation of faith can help students navigate the next steps on their journeys toward learning and development by educating the whole child instead of just mastering single subjects. Take a look around and you will find our classrooms full of kindness, respect, and a love of God and neighbor. Foundations of faith, hope, and love are evident inside and outside of the classrooms at SJS, making for a well-rounded education. For this reason we believe families of all faiths can find a home at St. John School!
It is often said that there is strength in numbers, and we believe that the most powerful numbers are often the smallest ones! Our maximum class size is 22 students with our average class size being 15 students. Smaller size classrooms translates into direct benefits for our students as teachers are able to have time to focus on the individual needs of each student. Teachers are able to assist students who may need extra help while also challenging students who are already ahead of the curve. No one gets lost in the crowd at St. John School! Teachers are also more available to our parents, working with families to develop a level of trust and familiarity that is impossible to find in a large classroom.
Because of the smaller class size, St. John School operates like a family with teachers and students knowing not only their class, but all students on campus. This allows for older students to act as mentors to the younger students and provides a unique learning experience!
At St. John School, our goal is not just to make good students, but to make great citizens! Being a good student shows hard work and dedication, but SJS takes that focus to the next level as we challenge students to look at the world around them and be a part of making it better. Through charitable service projects, our Peacebuilders anti-bullying program, and our faith-based curriculum, students are taught compassion, empathy, social responsiblity and respect for all life.
St. John School is a place where leaders are developed as we take a traditional approach to educating the whole child, while emphasizing the use of knowledge and a student's unique gifts to make a difference in the world. Our SJS Alumni are a testament to our committment to helping students realize their full potential!
