The Board of Trustees, the Administration, and the Faculty of St. John’s Day School believe that the school’s function is to accept all students as individuals. By developing their potential intellectually, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and aesthetically, they will become valuable members of our democratic society. Basic to our philosophy is the development of each child’s self-concept. We also believe concerned- discipline is essential to the growth of the individual.
Rooted in a Christian setting, we believe that Christian principles and content materials from Holy Scriptures should be taught in regular chapel programs and activity periods. We also believe that the headmistress, teachers, and other personnel should exemplify Christian morals and ethics in their own attitudes and actions. The goals of all our activities at St. John’s Day School are to develop learning habits and character traits that will enrich personal living and result in responsible citizens.
