The school program involves the faculty and staff working closely with parents and students to enable students to foster self-discipline, to help them become bound to their faith, and to become engaged in community service.

The faculty of St. John the Evangelist School believes in fostering the development of the whole child: socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. In an age when God is systematically excluded from the classroom, our emphasis on Christian values and growth is unique. An awareness of God’s presence in our lives and His love for us as people of God is fostered daily. To compliment this spiritual foundation for academic growth, we actively work to help our students develop the self-discipline that they need in order to assume responsibility for their actions and choices in life. We strive to increase our students’ self-esteem by encouraging them to attempt the difficult and challenging, and consequently to deal with the successes and defeats that they meet in day-to-day living.

The need to emphasize action on behalf of justice in a world where injustice runs rampant is an important dimension of Christ’s gospel. In keeping with the gospel, we try to lead students to an open-minded vision of their place in the world. As world citizens, they are called to be aware of the needy, appreciative and respectful of various cultures, and willing to work for the rights of their brothers and sisters. From the classroom they must move to society, utilizing their special gifts for the improvement of our world.

We believe that parents and family have a prime responsibility in the education of their children. We must work closely with them in fostering the growth and development of a well-rounded student who will reflect the result of an excellent academic education and sound moral training. As the Holy Spirit guides our work, we are confident that our students are developing into responsible adults whose lives will be characterized by health in spirit, mind and body.
