“Pursuing academic excellence through the relational impact of Christ-centered learning”
“To inspire lifelong learning while impacting hearts and minds for Christ”
At St. John Lutheran School, placing the spiritual growth of our students as our top priority does not mean academics take a back seat. In fact, we believe that a strong academic foundation, rooted in Christian values, is essential for developing thoughtful, well-equipped leaders of tomorrow.
St. John offers one of the finest college-preparatory academic programs in the area—from Pre-K through high school. Our students thrive in a close-knit, family-like atmosphere where teachers skillfully blend traditional instruction with innovative teaching strategies. Classrooms are animated, engaging, and student-centered, designed to challenge young minds and spark a love of learning.
Our accelerated, content-rich curriculum provides students with a deep and well-rounded foundation across all core academic disciplines. This strong academic base prepares students not only to succeed in high school but also to excel at the university level and beyond.
At St. John Lutheran School, we believe that while academics and athletics are important, nothing surpasses the spiritual nurturing of our students and their families. This is the heart of our mission and the foundation of everything we do.
For over 50 years, St. John has served the Ocala and Marion County community—earning a reputation for excellence in Christ-centered education. Our outstanding faculty is prayerfully called, chosen not only for their academic expertise but for their personal faith, Christian character, and dedication to shaping young lives for eternity.
Every day at St. John is intentionally rooted in God’s Word. From the classroom to the playground, students are continually encouraged to view life through a biblical lens. Scripture becomes relevant in every aspect of their lives: in how they speak, act, relate, learn, and grow. Whether they’re exploring the wonders of creation, studying world cultures, or refining their language skills, God’s truth is present and alive.
Our teachers joyfully discipline students, planting and nurturing seeds of faith, and guiding them toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through this, our students are not only prepared for academic success—they are equipped and inspired to be a light for Christ in their homes, in their communities, and around the world.
St. John Lutheran School’s goal is to develop our students into well-rounded young men & women. This means that each student’s physical development must be nurtured. St. John develops this vital aspect of our students through health classes, weight training classes & other physical education classes.
In addition to our physical education curriculum, St. John offers a wide range of fall, winter, & spring sports to student in grades 5-12. Although St. John’s athletes are encouraged to take part in multiple sports throughout the school year and achieve their highest potential on the field or the court, they are also reminded that academics must take priority over athletics.
Besides aiding in the physical development of students, St. John feels that participation in athletics also develops other qualities that are essential in well-rounded students. Some of these important qualities include teamwork, leadership, and the ability to be a good sport in the face of both victory & defeat.
St. John also encourages the growth of these qualities by offering the opportunity to participate in a number of non-athletic clubs and organizations at the middle & high school levels such as National Honor Society, Student Council, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Fishing Club, Astronomy Club, & Anchor Club.
St. John is fully accredited by the National Lutheran School Accreditation and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) now known as AdvancED. The quality of education programs at St. John is well established and its secondary graduates have been readily accepted into the highest quality academic institutions including: The United States Air Force Academy, United Stated Military Academy (West Point), Yale, Dartmouth, John Hopkins, Harvard, Vanderbilt, University of Florida, Florida State University and a myriad of others.
