Schoolwide Learning Expectations
EXHIBIT – APPRECIATE – GROW – LEARN – EXPLORE – SERVE
St. John School emphasizes and is committed to whole child development. From TK to Middle School, we help students learn how to exercise self-control and wisdom in the joyful discipline of caring for others. We have established schoolwide learning expectations to help guide students along this path. Our expectations are clearly introduced, taught, and posted schoolwide as both reminders and encouragement. We believe in our students’ capability to engage in and meet these expectations. Learn more about the values and characteristics we encourage in our students through our schoolwide learning expectations.
