Proudly celebrating 50 years of Christian education in Libertyville!

St. John Lutheran School, located in Libertyville, is a private Christian school for children from preschool through 8th grade.

At St. John, we believe in providing a Christ-centered education that fosters intellectual curiosity in a safe and nurturing environment. Our experienced and caring teachers are dedicated to getting to know each child individually, allowing us to create personalized learning experiences tailored to their unique strengths and interests.

St. John has achieved and maintains exemplary WELSSA and NCPSA accreditation, and we are proud to offer a transformative STEM curriculum through Project Lead the Way (PLTW). Additionally, our SEVP- certified international school program extends our reach to students from diverse backgrounds across the globe.

With small class sizes and a 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, our teachers are able to provide individualized attention and support to every student. Through innovative teaching methods, personalized instruction, and a rigorous curriculum, we empower students to excel in their studies and to develop critical thinking skills that will serve them well in high school, college, and beyond.

At St. John, we embrace a multigrade classroom model, providing numerous benefits for our students. Younger children are inspired by the achievements of their older peers, while older students benefit from reinforcing their knowledge and skills through teaching younger classmates. This approach fosters academic growth, social development, and strong teacher-student relationships.

"I cannot imagine teaching any other age group than kindergarten. I love everything about the growth and development of the students at this age and strive to provide them with the best balanced education possible.
