At St. John's, you can rest assured that your child is getting a first-rate education unmatched anywhere in the area. We've been doing this a long time, since 1849, and frankly, we are very good at it. Some of the benefits your child will receive at St. John's include:
- Highly skilled teachers averaging 20 years of experience
- Smaller class sizes than many area public schools, allowing us to dedicate more personal attention to your child
- Full schedule of required courses in reading, math, language arts, natural & social sciences, physical education, art, and music
- Daily instruction in the Christian faith including the instillment of Christian values in your child
- Advanced classes in math and reading for those students who excel
Every year, we hear from our alumni entering high school that they are amazed at how far ahead they are relative to their peers. Our test scores support this: our students frequently test at the 10th, 11th, and 12th grade level by the time they graduate from St. John's. Our alumni particularly excel in math, English, and reading relative to their peers. |

Stanford Achievement Test Scores
St. John's averages a full grade equivalent higher than state standards. For example, a student in 6th grade scores at a 7th grade level. In grades 4-8, where our students have typically been at St. John's for longer, St. John's scores over 1.5 grade levels higher than the student's existing grade.

 | Kindergarten Children who are five years old by September 1st are eligible for our full-day Kindergarten program. The children develop skills in the areas of reading readiness, math, and language. In a Christian atmosphere of love, the children develop social skills and positive concepts about themselves and the people around them. In addition, the children begin to build a personal relationship to Jesus in their daily lives. This program is a full school day program. |
