Excellence

We at St. John's Lutheran School encourage each student to pursue academic excellence. We believe that the pursuit of academic excellence is one that prepares, motivates, and inspires our students to face the challenges of high school and beyond. It also helps our students realize their purpose before God. Our faculty teaches high standards using God's Word of truth in an atmosphere of love. We believe that excellence is a result of providing a Christ-centered teaching staff and curriculum. These enable students to become lifelong learners, fully equipped to evaluate the issues of life using biblical principles, a biblical worldview, and wisdom.
