What makes St. John’s Different?

Of the many important decisions you’ll make in life, few are more significant than the ones that affect your children.  And of all those choices, selecting a school may well prove to be one of the most important.  As the principal at St. John’s Lutheran School, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and to let you know about the wonderful benefits that our school offers.

 

Our learning programs at St. John’s Lutheran School begin at preschool and continue through middle school (8th grade).  The Christ-based curriculum offers a high level of academics and is accredited by both the National Lutheran School Accreditation and the Michigan Non-Public School Accrediting Association. We offer our students a challenging curriculum, the freedom to learn in a dynamic distraction-free environment and the encouragement of confidence to push themselves academically.

 

In addition to our excellent academic standards, our class sizes are smaller than those in the public schools, which allow our teachers the opportunity to build stronger relationships between the students and their parents.  We treat every child as an individual with unique gifts and we teach them to welcome every challenge with

 strength, faith, and confidence.  Self-esteem and respect for others are critical attributes to a happy, successful life and our school expands upon and supports the important lessons you teach your children at home.

 

In our classrooms and on our courts and fields, we provide the challenges that help your children develop the independence and confidence to stand alone and the ability to contribute equally well within the dynamics of a team.
