FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS  
regarding Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School.
WHY A CATHOLIC EDUCATION?

A Catholic education provides children with academic excellence enhanced with traditional
Christian values. Catholic school teachers have the unique opportunity to mold every aspect
of a child's growth and development. Foremost in this development is the spiritual - educators
teach the message of Jesus. Through prayer, religious instruction, liturgies, and daily
interaction, students become rooted in faith.

Catholic schools are traditionally known for high academic standards, self discipline, safety,
and a sense of community and belonging; Saint John School is no different. Teachers and
staff model respect for all and an acceptance of each child's talents, abilities, and personal
challenges. Educators create a safe, loving environment that encourages students to believe
in their capabilities and to work toward their potential.  A variety of learning strategies are
used to connect with the child's framework of understanding.   A strong core curriculum based
on the Pennsylvania State Standards is complemented with both enrichment programs and, if
needed, remedial math and reading programs.  Saint John School is Middle States
accredited. Through this accreditation, we are recognized for our ongoing commitment to
constantly seek new ways to better serve our students.  

We recognize that parents are the primary educators of their children and encourage them to
collaborate with teachers and administrators as partners in education. We are sensitive to the
needs of working families and provide after school care, full-day kindergarten, and pre-school.

Life is full of important choices and uncertainty.  Enrolling your child in Saint John School will
provide you peace of mind in knowing that your child is educated in a loving environment that
exceeds their academic, emotional, social and spiritual needs.

Consider a Catholic education as a viable option to invest in your child's future.
