Kindergarten through 2nd Grade

Students are naturally curious, creative, and eager to learn. At St. John School, Kindergarten–2nd Grade fosters this value through a program that empowers student voice, provides age-appropriate choice, and utilizes hands-on activities that align with our personalized approach. Students experience a private school education that is tailored to their unique gifts, strengths, and individual needs.

• Equip students for a changing world.
• Personalize learning around your child’s strengths and needs.
• Focus on real-life success skills, teaching communication, collaboration, critical thinking skills, as well as how to be self-directing and self-advocating.
• Encourage the growth of the whole student, academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
• Build a community where students are encouraged to stretch themselves, dig deeper while still being supported.

3rd – 5th Grade

Students enter a studio classroom environment. It’s here they experience increased opportunities for self-direction and self-advocacy. Core content is delivered through a team-teaching approach and in multiple ways (digital and analog methods); reinforced through project-based learning experiences. Academics, real-life success skills, and social-emotional learning skills are prioritized through 1-on-1 advisory time with teachers.

• Personalized learning tailored to each student’s unique gifts, strengths, and individual needs.
• Modern, interactive education in a warm, comfortable environment.
• Cultivation of the whole person – academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
• Life success skills development that prepares students to be communicators, collaborators, and critical thinkers.
• A supportive community, where students are encouraged to stretch themselves, dig deeper, and feel comfortable.

6th – 8th Grade

As students enter upper-grade levels, they continue to hone the success skills they have been learning as they prepare for their transition to high school. Students experience a rigorous, personalized curriculum, rotating through different learning spaces and teachers, and real-life project work that reinforces core concepts and competencies. Students continue to build independence and self-regulation by taking greater ownership of their schedules and coursework. The upper-grade levels have an increased focus on social-emotional learning to help students become confident learners and leaders in any high school environment.

• Students in 6th grade begin exploring electives.
• Students in grades 7 – 8 experience a full rotational block schedule.
• Continued growth in communication skills, problem solving, creativity and faith during this important time in their lives.
