St. John's Lutheran School was established in 1946 and is operated by St. John's Lutheran Church.
The school is designed to provide a complete program of quality Christian education in the Lutheran tradition based on the conviction that learning and living take on meaningful dimensions only when related to Christ.
Curriculum: Although taught as a subject each day, religion permeates the entire curriculum.
All subjects are presented in the light of God's Word.
The curriculum parallels that offered by the Midland Public Schools.
Accreditation: St. John's has National Lutheran School and Michigan Non-Public Schools Accreditation.
St. John's Lutheran School's mission is to make disciples for Jesus Christ through a Gospel-oriented ministry that provides a Christ-centered education, integrated with a quality academic program, to churched and unchurched families.
