“Catholic education has already influenced our family to become closer to God and our community. We look forward to continuing to show our love of God through more services to others. St. John XXIII Catholic School’s persistence at building relationships and providing a better sense of community, and ability to see the face of Christ in all aspects of life encourages us to do the same. We appreciate how SJ23rd integrates charity as a critical element of its regular curriculum and how students are encouraged to share their talents and resources with others who are in need. Catholic education influences us as parents to provide more focus on creating a family atmosphere animated by love and respect for God and all humankind. We have been enriched by the grace and office of the sacrament of matrimony and have already been encouraged to enhance our family’s knowledge of God, to worship Him, and to better love their neighbor. We officially began instilling this in the girls and the faith received in Baptism and the Holy First Communion. We are beyond blessed they have found their first true experience of the Catholic Church. We now recognize the inestimable importance a truly Christian family has for the life and progress of God’s own people. Catholic Education is important to our family because it develops a strong religious foundation with its daily exposure to the Catholic faith. We are confident that Catholic Education will prepare our girls to be faithful disciples of Christ by developing their whole person – spirit, mind, and body – through spiritual and academic formation based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is fundamental our girls attend at a Catholic school because of it focuses on providing a strong moral and ethical foundation not able to be provided in the public school system. It also will better equip to inspire decision‐making skills that will be critical throughout their lives. Overall, it is important to us curriculums do not revolve around standardized testing, rather, provides enrichment, perspective, a strong religious foundation and instills a love of learning for all students.” – Current Family
“Our first year at St. John XXIII Catholic School has been nothing less than perfect. We couldn’t be more gratified with the love, care, and faith provided to our children day in and day out. SJ23 came into our life at just the right time.” – Current Family
“[Our daughter] is suspected to have a sensory processing disorder. We needed a more nurturing environment to help her as she was struggling to find her way at the public school. She struggled making and keeping friends, but this all quickly changed upon starting at SJ23. For the first time, she loves going to school and thanks us at least repeatedly for making the change. This is all thanks to smaller class settings, more structured environment, being held accountable for her actions and of course, her teachers, her wonderful classmates, and all the great faculty/staff. SJ23’s desire to place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well‐being of students is noteworthy. We applaud the school’s ability to teach fundamental skills necessary for wellbeing and life effectiveness. We are confident these skills have already improved her quality of learning and life. Our other daughter is absolutely thriving! Her growth in all academic areas is astonishing. The individualized learning, she is receiving and support from her classmates has never been seen before.” – Current Family
“…Today she told me how much she loves her school. They’ve remained open and complied with all measures to ensure students can learn in the best possible environments. They are deeply committed to her success. I don’t even know how to describe the level of involvement other than it blowing me away, every time I stop to think about it.” – Current Parent

We value the open communication and relationships we have developed at school. Our kids are excited about learning and they feel how excited their teachers are to help them grow. We feel welcome in the SJ23 family and love the relationships we have made with other families.

“We came because of COVID, but we will stay because of the wonderful community and education for our children.” – Current Parent
“We wanted our children to receive a strong education this year with Covid shutting down so much. The teachers, staff, and school atmosphere were welcoming to our children who transferred as well as to our family. Our children’s educational growth was evident and they expressed how much they enjoyed school all year long. When moments of quarantine had to occur, the teachers kept our children engaged and continued to further their learning with strong expectations for them. St. John’s School was wonderful in so many ways and we look forward to the future years to come.” – Current Parent

“2020 was a year that no one will forget. Our daughter did not do well with hybrid schooling, so when we reached out to SJ23 in November we were in crisis mode. Every single person we came in contact with was helpful, kind, and understanding. Our daughter was a different person, even just from the day she spent shadowing! The school and teachers have been amazing, and it was an easy decision to continue her education at SJ23 beyond the 20-21 school year!” – Current Parent
