Learning differences
St. John the Evangelist School has resources to engage students of a broad range of abilities because of our Learning Differences and Enrichment programs. Not only does the faculty engage children in the larger classroom setting according to individual needs, but with a special educator and enrichment coordinator, the faculty creates small group instructional experiences for approaching as well as gifted learners from Kindergarten through 8th grade.
The Student Advocacy Team includes a special educator, guidance counselor, lead teacher, nurse and the school administration. Our team works with parents, teachers, and students to ensure children with academic differences are supported in their learning and that everyone works collaboratively for the benefit of each student.
Technology
With an emphasis on the tools needed to prepare students for future academic endeavors, St. John regularly incorporates the thoughtful use of technology into classroom teaching. In conjunction with textbooks, iPads are utilized to enhance the level of instruction and learning experiences for all students, as well as to provide access to references and other digital resources developed for the classroom. By incorporating lessons on digital citizenship and laying a foundation of technological literacy, St. John provides our students with the skills that will allow them to shine in classrooms and work environments.
Saint John has made strides to increase the number of technology devices accessible to students in the classroom. Currently the school has more than 600 devices including over 500 iPads (1:1 Ratio) schoolwide.
