We are committed to an excellent education for your child. Our curriculum meets or exceeds national and Missouri learning standards and it provides students with a Christian education that prepares them to live complete lives of service to God and others.

Religious Life. Students attend religion classes, participate in daily classroom devotions and prayers, and attend weekly chapels. The religion curriculum is based on Lutheran teachings; families of other Christian churches find that St. John’s provides great support to raise their children in the Christian faith.
