My son is in the eighth grade at St. John the Baptist School. He has been there since preschool. The curriculum is excellent in that it progresses smoothly from grade to grade. Students write on a daily basis and students learn the rules of grammar and composition. Students do projects and practice public speaking when they present their projects. The prinicpal is dedicated and hardworking. She knows every student in the school.
