Offering the highest quality K-12 education to the Orthodox Christian community

St. John’s aims to participate with parents in the development of Orthodox children who are well informed in both liberal arts and modern sciences, and are equipped with the knowledge of Orthodox faith and ethics that will enable them to live as devout Orthodox Christians.

The Academy expects its pupils to be active in church life; to develop their Christian consciousness; to practice prayer and follow Orthodox religious traditions; to maintain healthy and obedient relations with their parents, relatives, and teachers; to strive for excellence in intellectual pursuits; and to grow as useful members of society who practice true Christian love towards others and true Orthodox piety towards God.

Lo, Thy care for thy flock in its sojourn/ prefigured the supplication which thou dost ever offer up for the whole world./ Thus do we believe, having come to know thy love, O holy hierarch and wonderworker John./ Wholly sanctified by God through the ministry of the all-pure Mysteries/ and thyself ever strengthened thereby,/ thou didst hasten to the suffering, O most gladsome Healer,// Hasten now also to the aid of us who honor thee with all our heart. Tropar to St. john, tone 5
