surrounding communities with a Christ-centered education that nurtures hearts and minds.
Why St. John's?
It just makes sense! St. John’s offers a safe and nurturing environment, for preschool (3 years old) through 8th grade, where your child can reach their full potential. We know that navigating your child’s educational journey can be difficult. Let us be your trusted guide to help your child make sense of life in Jesus.
What's different about St. John's?
At St. John’s students are encouraged to excel academically. This is accomplished by a comprehensive curriculum but also fun and exciting hands-on learning and field trips. Through this, they will grow to become confident leaders who are well prepared to meet the challenges of the culture around them.
What will my child miss?
When it comes to academics, NOTHING! We offer math, history, science/STEM, English, JUST like other schools except with a more individualized learning opportunities.
When it comes to extra curriculars, we have those also! In athletics, we compete in a local conference in volleyball, basketball, flag football, and cross country. If you child isn’t as interested in sports, we have knowledge bowl, breakout-edus (escape rooms), chess club, cribbage club, drama, AND MORE.
Don't take our word for it
2024 - 2025 School year theme
Love Like Jesus
This school year, we want to LOVE LIKE JESUS. It’s his love for us—seen most clearly through his suffering and death, that propels and compels us to love one another. And it’s this love that becomes a powerful Christian witness. An early Christian writer named Tertullian quoted a pagan official say about the Christians: “Look at how much they love each other!” This Christian witness stood out. It left the stamp of Christianity on the culture and changed the world. Could it still have that same impact today? And so, in every interaction we’re asking the question: what does love require of us? How do we intentionally love the people in front of us today in such a way that they see Jesus by the way we’re loving?
5 Questions to ask before enrolling in school this year
Content matters! This doesn’t just apply to math, science, and reading, but what about your child’s identity? What about how they treat other people? What we teach through our curriculum at St. John’s is important as we faithfully follow traditional values.
We all want our kids to be the best they can be, but a big part of that is their schooling. Hear from some of St. John’s alums and all they’ve accomplished. They are doing great things, but their stories started at St. John’s.
Our kids are influenced by a lot of people besides just their parents. Their staff, coaches, and peers play an integral role in their development. Take a moment to meet our staff and their commitment to your child’s education.
Everyone needs help. At St. John’s, we strive to partner with you and your child and provide for them the type of help necessary they need. This can range from special education services, to transportation, to tutoring.
Our world is changing, and our kids could receive the brunt of it and what they are being taught. St. John’s is a Christian school that believes in traditional family values. Our curriculum will not need to be harmed by outside influences.
