Saint John the Evangelist School of Warrenton, Virginia strives to aid parents in instructing and forming their children in the message of Christ; teaching the knowledge, attitudes and values that develop firm faith; a sense of responsibility; a respect for authority and a consideration for the rights of others so that the children may be contributing members of their family, parish, community and country.
The students are seen as unique persons redeemed by Jesus Christ; their temporal and eternal happiness requires that they develop their individual potential spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, culturally, and physically.
As a Catholic School, we endeavor to maintain that special environment which is sensitive to those elements that serve the true welfare of the students and make possible the integration of religious truth and values with the rest of learning and life.
