StJLC School: Where Education is an Adventure!

We are St. John Lutheran School

At St. John Lutheran School our mission is to Know Jesus and Make Jesus Known through Academic Excellence and Christian Character. Your children’s faith will be nurtured as they learn math, history, language, arts, and science.

 

We value the education of every child that walks through our doors. Realizing that parents carry the basic responsibility to educate their children, we also understand that teachers play a large role in helping children develop foundational skills and knowledge. We aim to serve as an extension of a child’s home and church.

 

The StJLC School has an experienced, caring school staff. Our classes will offer low student to teacher ratios so that each student will receive the personalized attention and individualized instruction they need and deserve.

Pack your backpack because Ms. Lisa’s on an educational adventure! Patience and persistence over 30 years have allowed her to do it all; multi-age classrooms, “aha!” moments, overcome challenges, treacherous hikes, and more. She couldn’t have done it without God’s unbounding love and that’s what your student will experience on their adventure with her as the chief!

Watch out for the tornado of letters, sounds, blends, and phonemes as you enter Ms. Lara’s reading room! Every child CAN read, and Ms. Lara’s been helping students unlock the mystery of reading for 12 years. The best book for beginning readers is the Bible where she encourages students to experience the adventure of their own budding faith in Christ.

Don’t get caught as the children’s art canvas as you walk into Ms. Rose’s room!  For over 20 years she has been encouraging art creations from mixing shaving cream & glue to using your toes as paint brushes, and everything in between.  Bible stories come alive when Ms. Rose dresses like Biblical characters.  Our youngest students are embraced in compassion every moment they are in Ms. Rose’s care.
