Why St. John School?

Featuring an enriching and exciting Pre-K program and a rigorous K-6 curriculum, a loving and dedicated faculty helping all students reach their potential, and a supportive school community, St. John School focuses everything they do on community, curriculum, and compassion.  

At St. John School, we believe that education thrives in community. With small class sizes and a dedicated faculty, we ensure that every student is seen, supported, and celebrated.

Parents are true partners in our mission—welcomed through regular events, one-on-one check-ins, and school celebrations that bring us together. No faith is required to join our inclusive community—all are welcome. Every family is an essential part of our school.

St. John School offers a rigorous, standards-based curriculum designed to educate the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our 9:1 student–teacher ratio allows for personalized instruction, enrichment, and support. Teachers go beyond checklists to provide meaningful, customized experiences that prepare students for top Boston-area middle and high schools.

Our curriculum integrates social-emotional development, character education, and service into the school day—because we believe academic success is rooted in integrity, respect, and compassion.

Our extensive after-school program offers care until 6 PM every day with enrichment options like:

• Ballet, Irish Step, Hip Hop, Music and Movement

• Chess and world languages

• No Bake Snack Attack, Athletics with Knucklebones

These offerings are not only convenient for working families—they also foster curiosity, creativity, and academic growth. Research shows students in programs like ours gain significantly in reading and math, making this a powerful part of our curriculum.

Rooted in Values. Driven by Care.

Compassion is at the heart of everything we do. At St. John School, students are taught to lead with kindness, act with integrity, and serve others joyfully. Our Catholic values—respect, responsibility, and service—are woven into daily life. 

Whether through classroom activities, community outreach, or peer interactions, we cultivate an environment where students grow not just as learners, but as people.

Our teachers model this care every day, building relationships with students and guiding them with empathy and purpose. Families often say they chose St. John not only for academics, but because it feels like a place where their child is safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
