Spiritual
St. John’s exists to provide opportunities for children and families to discover and strengthen their relationship with Jesus as their Lord Savior Teacher and Friend and then to reach out to others with the same Good News.
Academic
We are proud to offer high-quality educational programs that educate children to become literate and productive Christian citizens while they simultaneously discover and develop their own God-given talents and grow in their understanding of God’s world.
Social
We provide opportunities for students to interact with one another as well as others in the Bakersfield community and the world in order to share God’s Good News through Christ-like acceptance of others.
Physical
We educate the whole child. Each child’s experience at St. John’s includes physical activities for play and recreation as well as encouragement for positive physical fitness in the future.
Emotional
SJLS is a place for Christian fellowship and forgiveness centered in the Word of God. St. John’s recognizes individual strengths and abilities and develops a community of support to encourage students as they grow in discipleship.
