At St. John’s, we know learning doesn’t end when students leave the classroom, so we provide many extra-curricular activities that engage our students in real-life experiences and showcase their skills within the school, church, and community. Through each of these extra-curricular activities, not only are students learning cutting-edge skills and applying them to unique situations, but each group works with people from the community and living by example as children of God.
