Overview
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.
Calvary Baptist Academy seeks to glorify God by equipping young people for a lifetime of ministry.
We serve in partnership with parents who desire to bring their children to maturity according to biblical principles.
As a Christian school, you will find our priorities to be first spiritual and then academic.
We consider our goals to be accomplished when our young people demonstrate genuine Christ-likeness in both their character and their service.
We`re thankful to have excellent facilities for training students spiritually, academically, artistically, and physically.
But we think you`ll be even more impressed by our teachers and staff members.
They are dedicated professionals committed to helping students build life-changing relationships with Christ-the key factor to any lasting success.
We hope you`ll take some time to get to know us.
We believe you`ll find CBA to be a great value in quality, conservative, Christian education.
