School philosophy:

St. John Regional Catholic School serves families who are seeking a faith-based pre/middle school education. Providing low student-teacher ratios will facilitate exploration, curiosity, and problem-solving. These skills support the development of early literacy and mathematics foundations and a child's social and emotional growth, preparing them for the rigors of 21st-century learning. We believe in utilizing intentional play, play-based activities with a purpose, in our aftercare.
