Statement of Philosophy
We at Saint John the Evangelist school come together not only as professional education, but also as faith people who see ourselves as participant in the building of the Body of Christ. This belief is the foundation of our work in dealing with each other and with the children. We want it to be said: "This is how Christians treat one another."
We strive to provide our students with the best possible educational program and to develop attitudes that will foster the growth of a child intellectually spiritually, and emotionally within the framework of a Christian atmoshpere.
Objectives
1. To promote Christian attitudes among students such as a sincere caring for each other and all humanity and by doing so demonstrate their love to God.
2. To help each student develop a healthy, positive self image and to create an atmosphere for students to exhibit courtesy, respect, fairness, and compassion among themselves and the faculty and staff.
3. The challenge each student to academic excellence and to encourage them to use their God-given talents so that they become Christ-like future leaders of our country and productive citizens.
4. To help each student make sound moral judgements and develop an ethical conscience.
5. To work with parents who are the primary educators in helping to make these objectives a reality. A team effort, total cooperation and support are required.
6. To work closely with the clergy in the religious education of the children entrusted to our care.
7. To provide opportunities for the children to extend their Christian school community at large.
