Academics

A Christ-Centered Education

Academic rigor is central to what we do at SJS. We want every student to reach their full potential. To achieve this we employ high quality teachers who average 15 years in the classroom. We believe in differentiating our instruction so all student needs are met. We integrate technology when possible. And we believe in the value of small and cooperative grouping. This has led to our students achieving high marks on standardized tests and yearly high school scholarship winners.
