Our Vision
For more than 50 years St. John the Baptist School has provided a ministry to St. John the Baptist Parish by offering a faith community working toward the lifelong goal of proclaiming, sharing and living the Gospel message. We continue, well into this 21st century, to strive to be witnesses of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ to all entrusted to our care.
To this end, St. John the Baptist School maintains a dedicated and experienced faculty and staff who recognize and embrace their vocations to participate in the ministry of educating students intellectually, physically and spiritually from Kindergarten through Eighth Grade.
By the teachings of the Gospel, it is our belief and expectation that:
- Each student will be recognized as a child of God blessed with unique abilities, gifts, strengths, and learning style.
- Each student deserves to grow and develop as a whole person in Christ, given opportunities to develop in all areas including the intellectual, psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects.
- Each student is permitted to experience a curriculum rich in exploration, theory, practice and application in all subject areas.
- Each student will recognize his/her strengths through a nurturing, positive environment.
- Each student will develop his/her unique talents and strengths to ultimately better our society as he/she understands and responds to the needs of others.
- Each Student will understand the sacredness of his/her body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
- Each student will respect the dignity of all human life.
- Each student will recognize his/her responsibility, as a citizen, to respect and protect our world.
- Each student will strive to grow in faith by developing a lifelong personal relationship with God, our Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit through prayer, worship and the teachings of the Gospel.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that all children understand and internalize the values that the Gospel teaches. Students must exhibit responsibility and respect for themselves and others. As we partner with parents to provide an education that exceeds the boundaries of public school, we are committed to providing a nurturing, stimulating, Christian environment that challenges young minds to embrace and fulfill these and the many other needs of our society.
