St. John the Apostle Catholic School Philosophy of Learning:

• We believe in providing a faith-filled foundation
  • We teach a strong Catholic identity in liturgy, scripture, prayer, sacraments, and service.
• We believe that students learn best in a supportive environment
  • We encourage them to become respectful, responsible, and reverent leaders in our Church and thoughtful contributors to our society.
• We believe that students have unique learning styles and each child should be challenged to excel.
• We believe that students learn best in an atmosphere that promotes self-discipline, self-motivation, integrity of actions, and mutual respect.
• We believe that students learn best when teachers implement 21st century skills which enhance student engagement and achievement.
• We believe that learning is a life-long achievement that leads students closer to realizing their full potential as intended by God.
• We believe that students should be encouraged to recognize the gifts of others and to focus on the needs of the underprivileged individuals in our local and global communities.
