I have had 3 children at St. Johns all from Pre-K through 8th grade. Their experiences have been nothing short of incredibly fulfilling. All were well prepared for high school after graduation and I am certain that their 100% acceptance rate into the colleges they applied to was due, very much in part, to the strong educational foundation they received in their formative years at SJS. It is almost unheard of nowadays, to have a school that is still nurturing, that takes pride in educating all children of varying abilities, that helps build strong community leaders and committed citizens, and that helps foster a life long love of learning in all their students. That is what St. Johns has in the past, and still, offers to this very day! I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality educational experience for their child and can assure you, you'll be very happy with your decision. Close Quote
