St. John School is not just a school for my children, it is a home. The teachers know the name of just about every student there and the older kids look out for the younger ones. The academic standards are high and the curriculum rigorous. The students begin taking Spanish in kindergarten and continue all the way through the 8th grade. Band and sports are offered as well for 5th grade and up. Above all, my kids are praying and learning to respond to others in a Christain way.
