St. John in Libertyville achieves ‘exemplary’ Christian education<br />
St. John Lutheran<br />
School in Libertyville was<br />
recently awarded a renewal<br />
of its “Exemplary”<br />
national accreditation by<br />
the National Council for<br />
Private School Accreditation<br />
and WELS School<br />
Accreditation.<br />
For more than 40 years,<br />
St. John has been nurturing<br />
children in faith and<br />
intellect, equipping them<br />
for Christian lives of service.<br />
The school strives to<br />
provide its students with<br />
opportunities to develop<br />
mentally, physically, socially<br />
and spiritually in a<br />
Christ-centered and family-friendly<br />
environment.<br />
Individualized instruction<br />
Small class sizes enable<br />
St. John teachers<br />
to learn each student’s<br />
strengths and weaknesses<br />
and what methods of instruction<br />
work best for the<br />
education of each child.<br />
Teachers are trained to<br />
differentiate instruction to<br />
meet individual needs and<br />
offer additional help and<br />
resources.<br />
St. John creates intellectual<br />
curiosity in a safe<br />
environment in a smaller<br />
classroom setting that<br />
gives every child the<br />
opportunity to excel.<br />
Family, character, values<br />
For quite some time, St.<br />
John’s church and school<br />
invitation has been to<br />
“Come Join Our Family!”<br />
St. John’s teachers truly<br />
get to know your child,<br />
care for the safety of its<br />
families and children — in<br />
body, heart and soul —<br />
and seek to prepare them<br />
to succeed in this world<br />
and to be welcomed into<br />
heaven.<br />
Christian values are<br />
taught daily and modeled<br />
by our administration,<br />
teachers, aides and older<br />
students.<br />
International school<br />
St. John is wonderfully<br />
diverse, multicultural<br />
school serving students<br />
from various countries and<br />
cultural backgrounds. St.<br />
John’s U.S. SEVP-certified<br />
International Student<br />
Program provides a nurturing<br />
“home away from<br />
home” for students from<br />
around the world and is<br />
blessing to international<br />
students, host families and<br />
the St. John student body<br />
as a whole.<br />
Project Lead the Way/<br />
STEM<br />
To address today’s<br />
global, local, and personal<br />
challenges, students must<br />
know problem-solving<br />
strategies, think critically<br />
and creatively, communicate<br />
and collaborate<br />
with others, and persevere<br />
when something does not<br />
work the first time.<br />
St. John’s nationally<br />
recognized Project Lead<br />
The Way curriculum and<br />
pathways in computer<br />
science, engineering and<br />
biomedical science engage<br />
students in hands-on activities,<br />
projects and problems,<br />
empower students<br />
to solve real-world challenges<br />
and inspire them<br />
to reimagine how they see<br />
themselves.<br />
Preschool<br />
St. John recognizes the<br />
importance of a preschool<br />
education and believes<br />
children learn best when<br />
they feel they are loved,<br />
safe and accepted. It is in<br />
preschool that children<br />
develop vital academic,<br />
physical, social and emotional<br />
skills that prepare<br />
young children for later<br />
success in school and life.<br />
St. John’s 3-year-old<br />
and 4-year-old programs<br />
are well-balanced in learning<br />
and exploring.<br />
