Welcome to St. John Lutheran School

St. John Lutheran School has been a part of the Ocala/Marion County community for over 50 years and has established a reputation for providing students in this area with a quality Christian education.

God’s Word is woven throughout the fabric of the students’ day. Students discover that Scripture relates to every area of their lives: their personal relationships, their character, how they work and play, how they think and speak, even the subjects they study. God’s design unfolds whether students are examining the order of the universe, studying the nations of our world, or learning to use the gift of language.

At St. John, our students are being trained to become Christ’s light in their communities, throughout our nation, and around the globe.
