I am so thankful for St John Lutheran School! We chose this school so that their education can be entwined with our christian faith. Their education has exceeded our expectations. Not only is their knowledge years beyond their grade level, their foundation of faith is solid. Included in their education is music, arts, chapel, etc. From learning to speak German to track meets and spelling bees the extracurricular education is A+!!
