Academic Achievement
St. John’s academic program is distinguished by low student to teacher ratios and a personal, individualized educational experience. Each Elementary and Early Childhood classroom enjoys the support of a dedicated instructional aide. This classroom structure lends itself well to flexible and engaging small group instruction, especially in Mathematics and Language Arts, ensuring a personal and highly individualized educational experience daily.

Balanced Curriculum
The School’s philosophy focuses on the development of the whole child providing a program that is broad and inclusive. The core curriculum is supplemented by a wide variety of enrichment classes, including music, science, athletics, and world languages, all taught by subject-area specialists. Each enrichment provides students with additional opportunities for self-expression and success.

Focus on Character
The School’s faculty and staff understand the importance of providing students with a nurturing environment, one where they can feel safe and appreciated. A strong sense of school community is a vital aspect of St. John’s. Students learn the value of social responsibility within the greater community. The values of integrity, responsibility, tolerance, and respect are reinforced through character education, community outreach, and individual service and are modeled by the adults on campus.
