I have two daughters at St. John. My first started in kindergarten and she is currently in 6 grade and my second started in 2nd grade and now in the 4th grade. The administration, staff and teachers give updates on students conducts and progress, and communicate any concerns. The school is christ centered, and families are welcome and encouraged to partnered and participate in their children's learning and progress. The experience here over the years has been a blessing for my girls so far. They love going to school everyday.

As an alum of SJRCS, I was welcomed immediately into the school family from administration, teachers, aides, staff, and current families. I've had many opportunities to get myself and my family involved in the school community, which has helped the transition to this school be flawless! The teachers are AMAZING and my child is learning so much already. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone!

We have been fully impressed with the early childhood programs at SJRCS. The instructional staff is experienced and caring and recognizes the individual growth of each child. In addition, children are provided age appropriate faith based instruction which was another important criteria for us in choosing a school program for our children. Parents are welcomed partners in the school program and we volunteer across several areas of the school to support the wonderful work happening here!

Our family joined SJRCS last year and we are thrilled with the high quality education that our children receive. They are enthusiasitic about attending school and learning. Our children have come to enjoy reading and math instead of shying away from them when they are challanged. The teachers and admininstration are top notch and are passionate about the students' education.

My child transferred into St John's and it has been such a positive experience for us. The teachers care about the students, are encouraging, and communicate with parents. The admission process takes some time but was very easy to follow all the steps needed. The admission coordinator helped guide us through each step. We are excited to spend the next few years learning at St John's.

St. John's Regional Catholic School has been an excellent choice for my daughter. The transition has been smooth, and she is excited to be part of a private school. We are both looking forward to another great year.The school's commitment to faith and values is another aspect that sets St. John's apart. The incorporation of Catholic teachings into the curriculum helps instill a strong moral foundation in my daughter, which is something we greatly value as a family. The school community is inclusive and fosters an atmosphere of respect, kindness, and compassion.We are grateful for the warm reception, the exceptional education, and the sense of community that the school provides. We eagerly look forward to this school year of growth, learning, and memorable experiences.

We love SJRCS! My husband and I had our children in the public school system and were not happy. We wanted our children in a Catholic school but were waiting until middle school. Virtual learning during Covid opened our eyes to realize that our children's education was less than adequate. Our neighbors had their children at St. John's and they encourage us to take a look. We changed schools in September 2020 and our children are thriving. Smaller classes, better curriculum, Catholic based education and excellent staff have made all the difference.

My daughter attended last year and my other daughter started pre-k this year. We had a wonderful experience last year and are off to a great start for this year. My daughter's teacher was always in contact with us parents and provided a great overview of what was being taught. A quality Catholic education is something that is greatly important to our family and St. John is a great fit for our needs. I would highly recommend the school!

SJRCS has been a great fit for our family. The class sizes are so much smaller compared to our local public schools, the teachers and administrative staff are kind and helpful and there are lots of fun and educational extra curricular actives as well. Thank you for another great year Saint Johns!

We have had a lot of friends and co-workers tell us about St. John Regional Catholic School and how wonderful it is. This is our daughters first year in pre-k 3 and I have to say it has been an awesome experience so far. The communication from the teacher is amazing! I know what my daughter is doing from 10 minutes after she arrives at school and throughout the day. It is great to be able to see her throughout the day learning and interacting with the other children. She loves to come home and tell me all about her day, and is asking if she can go to school everyday (she wants to go on Saturday and Sunday too).

Great school and great teachers. It was the best investment we made for our children by sending them to SJRCS.

We love St. John Regional Catholic School (SJRCS). Our daughter has been attending SJRCS since kindergarten. The teachers and staff are amazing. They really care for the kids they teach and work with. In addition to wonderful classroom experiences they offer many extra curricular activities which my daughter loves to participate in. The campus is safe and secure. The students are staff are like extended family. Additionally the religion courses are built into the school day and continue to support our Catholic foundation and beliefs We could not image sending our daughter anywhere else..

We made a hard decision when looking at private schools, no one in my family ever considered private school - in fact, I have six family members that are all public-school teachers. The hardest part for us was that we had preconceived notions on what "private school" and even worse "catholic school" would be. Our children were having trouble at home and with peers, so we made the choice to just "try it for a year." After the first year, we are re-enrolling and will keep attending. Our children are making vast social improvements and are now ahead of their peers in the quality of their education. Homework is heavy, but both the parents and children get used to the workload and my children are thriving on routine. There were initial behavioral issues with my children starting the school year in such a new environment, but the teachers and school counselor were very supportive and helpful to the needs of my children as they transitioned. Overall it has been a very positive experience and we continue to have our children attend.

We recently enrolled our daughter in SJRCS from public school. It has been the best decision we made. Our daughter loves the school and so do we. She comes home happy, does her homework without complaining. Its a great change to see her loving school again!

My two boys were recently moved from a public school. It has been the best decision we have made as family. The staff, the community, the environment are wonderful!

We have been going to this school since my oldest was in Kindergarten and she is now in 7th grade. Our other two kids go here as well- one is in 3rd grade and the other is in Kindergarten. The way this school handled the pandemic was incredible- the kids never missed a day of instruction. The leadership at the school is also outstanding and the teachers are all fantastic. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

My son has been attending St. John's for 2 years. He has had a wonderful experience. He is in the 7th grade. He has a couple of Learning Disabilities. He has dyslexia and dysgraphia. And he has also been diagnosed with ADHD. The school has been wonderful accommodating him and supporting his education plan. The staff has been very understanding that sometimes he likes to stand and do his work (mainly due to his ADHD). They have given him the small testing environment (for standardized testing) and extra time (for both standardized testing and regular tests) that he needs to be successful. The communication between the teachers, guidance counselor and assistant principal have been great. They are quick to return emails or phone calls and help point you in the right direction. There are times that they do give a lot of homework. I think this is teaching the students a great life skill about time management. And the understanding that some skills need extra time to be understood and mastered.I would highly recommend this school.
