MSLF sees unique potential in each student 

Montessori philosophy 

sees each child as a unique 

individual, with magnificent 

potential that is all 

their own. It emphasizes 

learning through handson 

experience, utilizing all 

five senses, not just listening, 

watching or reading. 

Children learn at their 

own pace and according 

to their own choice of activities 

from hundreds of 

possibilities. Learning is 

an exciting process of discovery, 

leading to concentration, 

motivation, selfdiscipline 

and a lifelong 

love of learning. 

During the first three 

years of life, the brain absorbs 

and processes more 

information than at any 

other time in life. Children 

are born learners but 

need the right environment 

to grow, learn and unlock 

their full potential. 

The Montessori School 

of Lake Forest offers a 

weekly Parent-Infant program, 

which provides just 

such a place to begin. This 

is an educational resource 

for parents and children 

as they begin to explore 

the larger world, with the 

support of a Montessoritrained 

director. 

As children start to interact 

with their peers and 

develop their language and 

movement skills, they are 

preparing for the learning 

opportunities of the MSLF 

Toddler Program. This program 

maximizes the development 

of young children 

through meticulously 

prepared environments. 

The Montessori-trained 

toddler directors conduct 

carefully planned activities 

that lead the toddler-aged 

child to build sensory-motor 

skills, high self-esteem, 

inner security and abiding 

habits of concentration. 

Starting at age 3, Montessori 

classrooms group 

children across three-year 

age spans. Each child 

moves through periods 

of being the observer, the 

participant and the teacher. 

Older children help younger 

children learn, which reinforces 

their own knowledge. 

Younger children 

admire their older classmates 

and eagerly anticipate 

the day when they too 

will have enough knowledge 

to act as role models. 

MSLF provides the caring, 

supportive and prepared 

atmosphere that promotes 

the development of 

responsibility, collaboration 

and cooperation. 

Continuing the multiage 

classroom into the elementary 

years, students 

now strive for intellectual 

independence. While following 

their interests and 

passions, they naturally 

collaborate with others 

and self-direct their efforts 

creating an atmosphere of 

intellectual rigor, experimentation 

and challenge. 

By the time these MSLF 

students complete the elementary 

cycles, they are 

well prepared to meet the 

challenges ahead of them 

in middle-school and 

succeed, academically, 

socially and emotionally. 

MSLF’s approach emphasizes 

the development 

of the whole child and 

encourages academic and 

character development 

equally. Curricula at each 

developmental level are 

broad and deep. Our standards 

exceed the Illinois 

State Board of Education’s 

requirements, and students 

thrive at every level. 

MSLF alumni go on to 

succeed at renowned high 

schools, universities, postgraduate 

institutions and 

workplaces. 

Our programs include 

Parent-Infant, ages 0 to 

15 months with caregiver, 

complimentary; Toddler, 

15 months to 3 years; Primary, 

3 to 6 years; Lower 

Elementary, 6 to 9 years; 

Upper Elementary, 9 to 12 

years. Full Day and Full 

Year Options are available 

Monday through Friday 

7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

The Montessori School 

of Lake Forest is currently 

enrolling in all programs, 

with immediate openings in 

our new Toddler classroom, 

for children ages 15 months 

to 3 years, and children ages 

3 to 6 in our Primary program.

Children thrive in joyful learning 

environment at Forest Bluff School 

Located in downtown Lake Bluff, Forest 

Bluff School is an internationally 

renowned AMI-accredited Montessori 

school serving children ages 18 months to 

14 years. 

Here, children experience the joy of a 

child-centered learning approach that respects 

their natural curiosity, encourages 

independence and embraces the individuality 

of each child. By allowing children 

the freedom of choice in their learning at 

every age, a Montessori education allows 

children to be the primary agents in developing 

their own intellect and character, 

an experience that is both profound and 

deeply satisfying for Forest Bluff students. 

Forest Bluff students have daily opportunities 

to: 

• Develop independence and deep concentration 

through self-directed, rigorous 

work and uninterrupted three-hour 

blocks of work time 

• Collaborate with classmates in multiage 

classrooms that encourage mentorship 

and mastery 

• Move freely throughout the classroom to 

engage with tactile materials that support 

hands-on, interdisciplinary learning 

• Challenge themselves, take risks and 

embrace mistakes as learning opportunities 

• Develop executive function skills, such 

as time management, task initiation, 

short- and long-term planning, goal setting 

and organization 

• Nurture a love of reading at home, in 

lieu of traditional homework 

• Feel a deep sense of competency and 

self-efficacy, at any age 

As conventional schools increasingly 

migrate to screen-based learning and 

standardized tests (despite a lack of convincing 

research supporting such moves), 

Forest Bluff School continues to adhere 

to authentic implementation of Dr. Maria 

Montessori’s revolutionary educational 

philosophy, a developmentally based approach 

that emphasizes the process of 

learning itself, rather than a finite, predetermined 

curriculum. 

In our rapidly changing world, no one 

can predict exactly what students will 

need to know to be productive members 

of society, but we can reasonably assume 

that they will have to be adaptable, collaborative, 

curious, analytical, creative, and 

above all, willing and able to learn on a 

continuous basis. 

A classic Montessori education fosters 

all of these qualities and is indeed an education 

for the future. 

At Forest Bluff School, we support 

the development of the whole child. Our 

students not only exhibit academic excellence, 

but also the many qualities that constitute 

positive character development: 

empathy, integrity, resilience, responsibility, 

initiative, self-discipline, self-reflection, 

and respect for themselves, others, 

and the environment. Graduates of Forest 

Bluff School achieve excellent records at 

public and private high schools, large and 

small, local and national. Recent graduates 

have gone on to attend Lake Forest 

High School, Lake Forest Academy, 

Woodlands Academy, St. Paul’s School 

and Phillips Exeter Academy, among others. 

Every member of the Forest Bluff 

School faculty holds a master’s degree in 

education and is AMI Montessori certified. 

Forest Bluff School recognizes the 

importance of building strong relationships 

with the families it serves. As such, 

we maintain close communications with 

parents on an ongoing basis. We offer Parent 

Education programs that include book 

discussions, lectures and Parent & Baby 

classes (for children under 18 months). 

Adults and children alike benefit from the 

supportive and welcoming community at 

Forest Bluff School.

Countryside Day School: Beyond great students ... exceptional adults 

Countryside Day 

School, a renowned institution 

in Northbrook 

for more than 50 years, 

continues to fill a niche 

in the educational market 

by providing students 16 

months through eighth 

grade with an unique 

learning experience that 

emphasizes not only rigorous 

academic studies 

but also the development 

of critical character skills 

essential for success not 

just in school, but more 

importantly, in life. 

Countryside is committed 

to working in 

partnership with parents 

to help young people become 

more than great students 

but also exceptional 

adults. 

Faculty members at 

Countryside understand 

education in a broader 

and deeper context than 

conventional schools. 

Teachers see school as an 

internship to adulthood in 

which students develop 

a strong sense of agency 

and empathy. 

Countryside students 

feel a deep responsibility 

to make a contribution. 

This is accomplished in 

classes that are “microsocieties” 

designed to emulate 

real life, with mixed 

ages, the expectation to 

take initiative, permission 

to follow interests, 

which develops deep concentration, 

and an intrinsic 

love of learning and 

room to learn that failing 

is necessary in order to 

accomplish great things. 

This great work is 

also accomplished with 

uniquely strong one-to-one 

student-teacher relationships 

where teachers do 

more than offer academic 

content but also serve as 

mentors to their students. 

Teachers’ knowledge of 

each individual student is 

one of the most treasured 

aspects of the Countryside 

experience by both 

students and parents alike. 

It is also what makes the 

role of teaching so inspiring 

that Countryside Day 

enjoys very little teacher 

turnover. 

The final piece of the 

Countryside success strategy 

is a close working relationship 

with parents in 

which faculty share observations 

of their students, 

seek information from 

parents about what they 

see at home and make recommendations 

regarding 

parenting based on the expert, 

collective experience 

of master teachers. 

The CDS faculty is 

keenly aware of the 

changes in culture that are 

impacting children and 

families and how these 

changes are affecting the 

development of young 

people. 

The mission of Countryside 

Day School is to 

provide an education that 

assists students in developing 

the qualities of respect, 

responsibility and 

resourcefulness so they 

become great students and 

exceptional adults. 

Countryside’s website, 

countrysideday.org, is a 

great place to start your 

research, but families say, 

without exception, that 

it is a visit to the classrooms 

themselves that reveals 

the unparalleled and 

awe-inspiring educational 

experience. Parents are 

encouraged to schedule a 

personalized tour anytime.

Community, faith, academics drive families to choose St. Norbert School 

We live in a rapidly 

changing world. For 

adults, we all know the 

work landscape is changing. 

We feel the pressures 

every day. 

Whether it’s evolving 

technology or globalization 

changing the nature 

of how we do our work, 

change is an inevitable 

part of our day. But what 

exactly does that mean for 

our children? How do we 

best prepare our kids for 

life ahead? 

We can anticipate that 

change will continue as a 

constant. Our children will 

not only need top-notch 

academics, but also the 

appropriate skills and resilience 

to navigate such a 

world. 

For more than 100 

years, St. Norbert School 

has prepared students for a 

life of success by instilling 

the values and beliefs that 

guide a person throughout 

one’s life. It is these values 

and beliefs that build 

the resilience needed to 

navigate life’s challenges. 

“At St. Norbert, our 

challenging curriculum, 

the unique culture of care, 

inclusivity and community 

grounded in values 

and faith, come together to 

create the conditions that 

empower our students to 

achieve a higher standard 

of excellence. Students 

graduate from St. Norbert 

inspired and prepared to 

make a difference in our 

world. And they have developed 

the confidence, 

critical thinking, resilience 

and responsibility 

needed to do so,” said St. 

Norbert Principal Stephen 

Schacherer. 

Curt and Rhonda 

Schaller have five children 

who have all attended 

or are still attending St. 

Norbert School. 

“We moved to Northbrook 

15 years ago from 

the city and enrolled our 

daughter in preschool. 

What we have come to 

appreciate as our children 

grow older is the strong 

faith foundation our kids 

have built at St. Norbert 

School. Whether it’s a 

difficult test, a situation 

with a friend or an athletic 

game, children need 

to know they can turn to 

God to guide them through 

any situation. Parents, society 

and peers can all put 

extreme pressure on kids 

to be academically, athletically, 

or socially successful. 

Teaching our faith in 

Jesus Christ in conjunction 

with academics, relieves 

much of that pressure and 

helps children to grow in 

love, kindness, forgiveness, 

resilience and confidence. 

It is incredibly 

reassuring knowing St. 

Norbert is helping prepare 

our kids for whatever they 

experience in life ahead.” 

For Curt and Rhonda’s 

son Louis, the benefits of 

a St. Norbert education 

continue as he finishes his 

senior year at GBN. “As 

the captain of the GBN 

football and wrestling 

teams, I’ve been able to leverage 

the leadership and 

sportsmanship skills from 

my time at St. Norbert. 

They have a no-cut sports 

policy, so kids can try any 

sport they want. I joined 

the football and basketball 

teams at St. Norbert 

because all my friends 

played. Being a part of 

those teams helped build 

my confidence and leadership 

skills and allowed me 

to explore athletics when I 

wasn’t so sure of myself.” 

Now a sophomore at 

Colorado State, Curt and 

Rhonda’s oldest daughter, 

Gigi, recognizes the 

benefits of her St. Norbert 

education. 

“Small class sizes allowed 

teachers to provide 

me with the individualized 

academic support I 

needed to succeed in high 

school and college. Now at 

a school with over 26,000 

students, I’m confident 

in navigating my way 

through difficult classes.” 

A sense of community is 

a common thread among 

the families. 

“St. Norbert has been 

more than a school to 

our family over the past 

15 years,” said Curt and 

Rhonda Schaller. “It has 

become our second family. 

We know our children 

are loved, supported and 

looked after by others in 

our community even after 

graduation. Whether they 

are congratulating them on 

a successful accomplishment 

or helping them to 

make better choices, this 

type of support is both reassuring 

and heartwarming 

to our family. It’s this type 

of community that makes 

St. Norbert such a special 

place in shaping the next 

generation of faith-filled 

leaders our future needs.”

School of St. Mary committed to each child’s unique gift 

The School of St. Mary 

is committed to the development 

of the unique gifts 

of each child: spiritual, 

intellectual, physical and 

emotional. 

In a supportive atmosphere, 

students are challenged 

to academic excellence 

and provided with 

the knowledge and skills 

necessary for future success. 

In an atmosphere that 

deepens Catholic values, 

students pray and worship 

while focusing on responsible 

decision-making and 

cooperation. 

Faith development, 

self-awareness, academic 

achievement and responsibility 

prepare our students 

to be leaders with high 

integrity. We accomplish 

this mission in a partnership 

with cooperative parents, 

highly qualified faculty, 

as well as supportive 

parishioners. 

Many factors contribute 

to the excellence of the 

School of St. Mary. Our 

students benefit from a rigorous, 

differentiated academic 

curriculum. Faculty 

offer acceleration as well 

as honors courses. 

We are blessed with a 

state-of-the art STEAM 

Lab, both Spanish and Latin 

instruction, art appreciation 

and expression, as well 

as music theory and performance. 

Additionally, we integrate 

technology into all 

disciplines; all classrooms 

utilize interactive technology 

to enhance instruction. 

Students in all grades 

have access to computers 

in addition to iPads. We 

provide a Chromebook to 

every student in sixth, 

seventh and eighth 

grades. St. Mary’s remains 

committed to maintaining 

small class sizes for 

optimal learning. 

St. Mary’s believes in 

educating the whole child 

both in and out of the classroom. 

We offer a variety of 

extracurricular clubs and 

organizations, including a 

dynamic athletic program, 

vocal and instrumental 

musical opportunities, science 

and math clubs, chess, 

Junior National Honor Society, 

Student Council, as 

well as an extended day 

program both before and 

after school. 

Service to others remains 

central to our mission. All 

students participate in programs 

and projects that 

foster heightened awareness 

of the needs of others 

throughout the world. This 

offers students the experience 

of both giving and receiving 

from those served. 

Our Catholic-based 

education provides graduates 

with the foundation 

to compete in challenging 

academic environments. 

Many of our students are 

recognized in their respective 

high schools as valedictorians, 

student council 

and class officers, club 

leaders, exceptional service 

providers, athletes, 

and talented contributors to 

various aspects of the fine 

arts. Additionally, we are 

recognized for fostering 

social emotional growth 

in our students through research 

based programs and 

modeling. 

The United States Department 

of Education 

has twice recognized the 

School of St. Mary as a 

Blue Ribbon School of 

Excellence. Likewise, 

the Archdiocese of Chicago 

Office of Catholic 

Schools praises the School 

of St. Mary for the “outstanding 

efforts of school 

administration, faculty, 

staff, and pastor in maintaining 

a school of the highest 

caliber in the areas of Catholic 

identify and academic 

excellence.” 

Our standardized test 

scores are in the top 3 percent 

of the Archdiocese and 

the top 10 percent nationally. 

The Illinois State Board 

of Education also recognizes 

the School of St. Mary. 


the School of St. Mary has 

remained true to its motto: 

To Learn, To Serve, To 

Lead. Hopefully, you will

Boys learn responsibility, accountability 

at Missouri Military Academy 

Since 1889, thousands of parents have 

looked to Missouri Military Academy to 

give their boys the structure, responsibility 

and love they need to grow, compete 

and thrive — and ultimately become 

young men who are in full command of 

their lives. 

Students come from across the United 

States and around the world to attend 

MMA. Focused on the education of boys 

in grades 7 through 12 and post-grad year, 

the Academy is a college-preparatory 

boarding school with a military tradition. 

MMA’s comprehensive 360° Education 

empowers boys and young men to unlock 

their full potential. Through MMA, 

families give their boys gifts of courage, 

strength, heart and pride — an edge to 

triumph in college and in life. 

“We have known what potential he has 

and he is now seeing for himself,” said 

MMA parents Bob and Jennifer Wever. 

“MMA has been the best decision we 

have ever made for our son.” 

MMA understands and embraces 

how boys learn and what inspires and 

challenges them. 

Through MMA’s tight-knit environment, 

supported by peers, teachers and 

mentors, boys learn personal accountability, 

perseverance, and self-discipline. 

“MMA has given my son the ability 

to think about his choices and to take responsibility 

for them. He has learned that 

he is in charge of his freedom, privileges, 

and future,” said MMA mom Dr. Victoria 

Thompson. “He said to me, ‘I know I 

don’t tell you enough, but I am very grateful 

for the opportunity you have given me 

to be able to go to MMA.’” 

Known for their sense of character and 

strong leadership traits, MMA graduates 

consistently achieve 100 percent college 

acceptance and earn an impressive number 

of scholarships. Recent graduates 

have been accepted to Loyola Marymount 

University, Case Western Reserve, Savannah 

College of Art and Design, the Citadel, 

the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, 

University of Washington and more. 

MMA’s unique Triumph Program gives 

students an early start on college. Qualifying 

students can finish high school with 

one year of college — or even earn their 

associate degree. Supported by MMA’s 

structured environment, students take 

classes with William Woods University 

faculty on MMA’s campus. 

Parents and students benefit from a map 

to college graduation, starting as early as 

middle school, to help understand their 

college investment and academic plan. 

Located in central Missouri, approximately 

six hours from Chicago, Missouri 

Military Academy’s 248-acre campus 

provides a safe, supportive, and scenic 

setting for learning and growth. Visit

Woodlands Academy inspires female leadership 

Modest gains in the number 

of women holding top 

leadership positions in the 

nation’s top 1,000 companies 

was seen between 

2018 and 2019, according 

to a study conducted by 

Korn Ferry, a global organizational 

consulting firm. 

The analysis found that 

across the most prominent 

C-suite titles in several industries 

an average of one 

quarter (25 percent) of the 

top leaders are women. 

That is up slightly from a 

year ago, when 23 percent 

of leaders in the studied 

C-suite positions were 

women. 

Woodlands Academy’s 

“Imagine Yourself in the C- 

Suite” program, launched 

last year, aims to narrow 

that gap even further by 

inspiring young women to 

consider careers in finance, 

science, technology, and 

healthcare. 

“We have so many students 

who have the talent 

and skill for top jobs, but 

a lot of them just haven’t 

envisioned the way up into 

the C-Suite,” said Head of 

School Meg Steele. 

This envisioning process 

is the key. 

As a part of the study, 

Korn Ferry interviewed 

dozens of current and former 

femaleCEOs. According 

to Jane Stevenson, 

Global Leader of Korn Ferry’s 

CEO Succession Services, 

the majority shared 

that they never would have 

considered vying for the 

big chair had a sponsor 

not told them they were 

well-suited. 

“It’s critical that both 

talented women and those 

around them focus on 

creating a clear path for 

advancement,” she added. 

The self-selecting out 

of ambitious career paths 

starts at an alarmingly 

young age. 

A study by Dr. Sarah- 

Jane Leslie, Princeton 

University and Dr. Andrei 

Cimpian, New York University, 

found that “girls 

as young as six can be led 

to believe men are inherently 

smarter and more 

talented than women, making 

girls less motivated to 

pursue novel activities or 

ambitious careers.” 

Single-gender learning 

environments are known 

to create spaces that negate 

stereotypes. 

“Girls need to ‘see it, to 

be it’ to make them more 

aware of the possibilities in 

their own lives and help set 

them on their own brilliant 

paths,” said Megan Murphy, 

Executive Director of 

the National Coalition of 

Girls’ Schools. 

That ‘see it, to be it’ mantra 

is precisely the blueprint 

for the school’s innovative 

new program, which provides 

Woodlands students 

and Chicagoland schoolaged 

girls the opportunity 

to engage in dialogue 

with leading professionals 

and with one another. 

Featured speakers include 

CEOs and executives who 

share their success stories – 

as well as the failures that 

helped shape their professional 

development – to 

inspire achievement, build 

confidence and embolden 

girls to forge pathways to 

excellence. 

“This series is about using 

the lens of success 

in specific industries to 

highlight the individual 

journeys leaders take. The 

stories are specific, but in

Baker Demonstration School: The value of progressive education 

Baker Demonstration 

School is a nationally 

recognized leader in exemplary 

progressive education. 

The School’s experience-based 

curriculum 

responds to the unique 

needs and strengths of 

each child. 

Founded in 1918, Baker 

was established to provide 

an innovative education 

for children in preschool 

through 8th grade. Today, 

Baker attracts students 

from 25 different 

communities throughout 

Chicagoland. 

“We want for students 

who graduate from Baker 

to have the two most vital 

qualities for their future 

success intact: their love 

of learning and their selfconfidence 

in being able 

to think in creative and 

critical ways,” said Head 

of School Carly Andrews. 

With an 8:1 studentto-faculty 

ratio, Baker’s 

teachers facilitate dynamic 

classroom environments 

that nurture the 

intellectual, social and 

emotional lives of young 

children and early adolescents. 

In addition to the 

core disciplines of math, 

science, language arts and 

social studies, Baker’s 

curriculum includes art, 

drama, music, library, 

technology, dance, physical 

education — including 

swimming in Baker’s pool 

— sports, outdoor education, 

identity exploration 

and service learning. 

Baker’s play-based preschool 

program offers a 

caring and stimulating environment 

that fosters curiosity 

and wonder. Self-initiated 

play allows children 

to learn about themselves 

and their world. It develops 

intellectual, social and 

emotional skills as well 

as lays the groundwork to 

promote leadership, collaboration 

and problem 

solving. 

Kindergarteners delve 

into numerous project- and 

inquiry-based experiences. 

Literacy and math concepts 

are explored every 

day through meaningful 

and authentic activities. 

An exploration about the 

life cycle of a butterfly, 

for example, lends itself 

to learning about patterns, 

counting and symmetry. 

Weekly outdoor nature explorations 

provide context 

to build confidence and 

develop a sense of wonder 

about our world. 

For students in 1st-3rd 

grade, a thematic approach 

provides a range 

of contexts to introduce, 

explore and reinforce content 

goals. Children’s curricular 

experiences invite 

them to make connections 

within their learning and 

to apply acquired skills 

in real-life situations. 

Classroom activities like 

building a Rube Goldberg 

machine or studying 

the physics of light and 

sound through the “Baker 

School of Dragonology” 

are engaging, fun 

and collaborative ways 

to foster deeper and more 

expansive thinking. 

Fourth- and fifth-grade 

students are empowered 

to use their voices and ingenuity 

to become agents 

of change. Through their 

studies, they learn about 

diverse current and historical 

exemplars of community 

leadership. 

One curriculum highlight 

is the Baker Business 

School, entrepreneurial 

experience where 

students pitch ideas and 

work through a designthinking 

process to ideate, 

prototype and manufacture 

products culminating 

in the BBS Community 

Market where students 

sell their products. 

Our middle school is an 

intellectually stimulating 

and supportive environment 

where students apply 

their critical thinking 

skills and take greater responsibility 

for their own 

intellectual growth. Rich, 

thematic study continue in 

the core disciplines of language 

arts, social studies, 

science, mathematics and 

world languages. 

One hallmark of our 

middle school program 

is the choice-based Arts 

Core program where students 

choose two electives 

per semester, allowing 

them to explore a 

broad array of arts-based 

classes. 

Outcomes 

Baker students thrive 

both academically and 

socially at competitive 

private and public high 

schools throughout the 

Chicagoland area and go 

on to attend highly-selective 

colleges and universities. 

And, they grow 

into the next generation 

of thinkers, inventors, and 

leaders. 

Underlying it all is their 

strength of character and 

their passion for lifelong 

learning, which all began 

at Baker.

their choice. 

During the course of their time 

at LFCDS, students develop their

risks in a nurturing environment 

and cultivate the self-confidence 

to present to large audiences. 

Lake Forest Country Day 

School fosters an environment in 

which students feel empowered to 

dream, try new things, take academic 

risks and achieve at their 

highest level. 

Highlighted by a 7:1 student-tofaculty 

ratio, an LFCDS education 

sets the stage for a bright future 

in secondary school and beyond.

and merit-based scholarships are 

available to make LFCDS an affordable

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. 


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.
