academic, spiritual, cultural, and physical growth of each student
while allowing him to advance according to his own unique and
personal talents. Parent involvement and volunteerism help us
achieve that goal. St. John Neumann School strives to continue its
strong tradition of excellence by guiding its students to become
involved members of their church and society. Service to the
school, parish, and community is an integral part of life at St.

My experience with SJN has been wonderful. I am impressed with the quality of the overall academic program, the teachers, school administration, and the facility itself. My daughter is consistently engaged and excited to go to school. In addition to learning the basic courses of science, math, and reading/writing, she is also exposed to religion, art, music, and sports. The school administration is organized and communicates well with parents. Overall, SJN is truly focused on the safety and success of all their students!
