St John's Lutheran School encourages Christian fellowship as
one of the most powerful factors in building character. We want
children to enjoy the feeling of "being a child" as they grow and
learn in a nurturing Christian community.

top academically-competitive high schools and 95% of students place
into their #1 choice high school.
St. John's Lutheran School provides an innovative program that
equips students with the tools they need to be lifelong learners.
Our focus on diversity, community, and highly qualified teachers
creating an educational experience unlike any other.

"I just love preschool. I don't know what I would do without my preschool." This is a quote from my four-year-old on her way home from school today. We love that she is in a school environment where we are confident the teachers and staff care about not only her academic growth and success but are also there to support her social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It's also great to be part of a school that fosters a sense of community among the families they serve.

"St. John's is a great school that feels like one huge family. The parents are very supportive of the school and of each other. The teachers truly care about each child and make a personal relationship with them. There are lots of ways for families to get involved from volunteering to serving on the PTL, to attending events at the school and church. The families that are here make it a really special place. As a parent and teacher of the school, I get to see both sides of how a school works. I love the connections and relationships that are built. I know my own children love going to school."

We have been a St. John's family for 9 years now. Our oldest daughter is a current 8th grader and our youngest daughter is a current 5th grader. I have to brag on the teachers and staff. They have all been very supportive and caring. I love that my girls have been challenged academically and morally. I appreciate how they are being taught good values of being kind, respectful, how to help and serve others. Which aligns with what is being taught at our home. Both have excelled tremendously in their academics and are above average in their test scores thanks to the amazingly dedicated teachers. St. John's has been a wonderful environment where my children feel safe, cared for, and part of a close-knit family. I am confident that my children will continue to excel due to the foundation of quality education that St. John's provides. We truly have been blessed by St. John's.

St. John's has been a great school so far. I have 2 kids at the school and the teachers and staff have been nothing but wonderful. St. John's has a great community and we are all like family. We have met some of our best friends while attending this school! I would highly recommend St. John's to anyone looking for a great school.

When I toured the school 5 years ago, I had no idea how St. John's would become more than just a school for my kids, but my extended family.
