We believe that the development of a child is a dynamic process involving mind and body, spirit and relationships.
The Bible teaches us about growing up with this holistic perspective.
Jesus said it this way, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30).
This is the foundation of St John's Lutheran School and its philosophy of education.
Your child will be well prepared to excel in high school given St. John's combination of traditional personal instruction enhanced by modern educational technology.
Our curriculum is chosen to not only teach basic skills, but also to promote critical thinking.
Learning is enhanced through the Accelerated Reader Program, science labs, computer science, and educational field trips.
