St. John’s provides a secure, nurturing environment that elementary-age children need to explore and experiment. Our Christian-based programs strive to instill a life-long love of learning and a quest for knowledge among students from kindergarten onward. Our students become active thinkers, makers, and explorers of ideas.  

Our students begin their day with the Pledge of Allegiance, the Pledge to the Christian flag, and the Lord’s Prayer. In addition to Wednesday chapel, we also have Thursday meetings with our Pastor. Students also have access to our library and music classes.

Early elementary classes prioritize establishing a strong foundation in reading and mathematics. Students are provided with hands-on activities and projects in areas such as, mathematics, phonemic awareness, social studies, and science. Their learning environment is not limited to the classroom and outdoor instruction is also prioritized. Our goal is to help our students develop problem solving skills and form their own solutions led by their faith.  

Upper Elementary classes build confidence in student's academic abilities, which allows for the desire to discover more about the world.  We focus on gaining competence and mastery of skills gained in previous years. They continue to learn and understand the concept of organization and time management, which come with the additional responsibilities gained with age. Using hands-on activities, games, projects, and field trips, our students are exposed to a variety of learning experiences. Here they will develop academic talents and skills to the fullest extent of his or her ability.

Our teachers provide a multitude of opportunities for which students can learn and grow. As they complete their elementary school years, students will have begun to see themselves as capable individuals who will use their gifts and talents for the good of others, armed with the key skills to excel in Middle School.
