14 | January 23, 2020 | 22nd century media private school guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com St. John in Libertyville achieves ‘exemplary’ Christian education St. John Lutheran School in Libertyville was recently awarded a renewal of its “Exemplary” national accreditation by the National Council for Private School Accreditation and WELS School Accreditation. For more than 40 years, St. John has been nurturing children in faith and intellect, equipping them for Christian lives of service. The school strives to provide its students with opportunities to develop mentally, physically, socially and spiritually in a Christ-centered and family-friendly environment. Individualized instruction Small class sizes enable St. John teachers to learn each student’s strengths and weaknesses and what methods of instruction work best for the education of each child. Teachers are trained to differentiate instruction to meet individual needs and offer additional help and resources. St. John creates intellectual curiosity in a safe environment in a smaller classroom setting that gives every child the opportunity to excel. Family, character, values For quite some time, St. John’s church and school invitation has been to “Come Join Our Family!” St. John’s teachers truly get to know your child, care for the safety of its families and children — in body, heart and soul — and seek to prepare them to succeed in this world and to be welcomed into heaven. Christian values are taught daily and modeled by our administration, teachers, aides and older students. International school St. John is wonderfully diverse, multicultural school serving students from various countries and cultural backgrounds. St. John’s U.S. SEVP-certified International Student Program provides a nurturing “home away from home” for students from around the world and is blessing to international students, host families and the St. John student body as a whole. Project Lead the Way/ STEM To address today’s global, local, and personal challenges, students must know problem-solving strategies, think critically and creatively, communicate and collaborate with others, and persevere when something does not work the first time. St. John’s nationally recognized Project Lead The Way curriculum and pathways in computer science, engineering and biomedical science engage students in hands-on activities, projects and problems, empower students to solve real-world challenges and inspire them to reimagine how they see themselves. Preschool St. John recognizes the importance of a preschool education and believes children learn best when they feel they are loved, safe and accepted. It is in preschool that children develop vital academic, physical, social and emotional skills that prepare young children for later success in school and life. St. John’s 3-year-old and 4-year-old programs are well-balanced in learning and exploring.
