About Us
About Us
At St. John’s, we cherish our independence. Unlike private schools generally, independent schools are not subject to outside mandate. Rather, we are able to determine our own mission and values and create approaches to teaching and learning that best serve our students.
Academics

As an independent school, St. John’s is able to make program decisions that best serve its students and community without mandate from the government or any other outside entity. Adopting a STEAM approach to teaching and learning is one such manifestation of this autonomy.

Early Childhood Division

As the initial stage in education at St. John’s, the Early Childhood Division program provides appropriate developmental practices that encourage intellectual development in a positive and nurturing environment. Attention to specific individual differences of youngsters within a small-group setting allows for optimum learning to occur. Children develop understanding through meaningful experiences and explorations, and learning takes place through the active involvement in relevant, interesting, and age-appropriate activities.
