St. John’s School nurtures the academic, religious, and value development of its students.  At St. John’s School our day begins and ends with prayer.  We strive to create a faith-filled environment which fosters a strong sense of community, high academic standards, discipline and order, a committed and collegial faculty, and exceptional parental interest and participation. The New York State curriculum is incorporated into all subject areas and all students enjoy daily or weekly music, art, physical education, computer lessons, and library time.  We offer a Remedial Reading Program on site and students in need of special education or Resource Room services receive these from the Alden Central Schools. St. John’s also participates in the Federal Hot Lunch Program that provides a nutritious, delicious hot lunch for our students.  Students have the opportunity to participate in extra curricular activities, clubs and sports.  St. John’s has an After School Care Program that runs Monday-Friday on the days that school is in session for children in Pre-K 4 – Grade 6.  Busing is available to students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 by their local school district living within a 15 mile radius of the school. 

Please register early for the 2012-2013 academic year.  Spaces are limited!  If you would like to arrange a tour of the school or would like more information, please contact the school office at 937-9483 or e-mail stjohnsschool@stjohnalden.com. You may also visit our website at www.stjohnsalden.com.
