Admissions

Thank you for your interest in St. John Lutheran School.  For over 155 years, St. John has served the New Orleans community with a commitment to quality Christian education.  St. John's philosophy emphasizes the importance of providing a nurturing atmosphere and a supportive environment, which builds high level thinking skills, excellent work habits and a love for learning.  We strive to instill a strong sense of self-esteem and Christian responsibility in all of our students.  Our low student/teacher ratio, safe campus, high-core curriculum and caring, qualified Christian teachers enable us to enact our philosophy on a daily basis.  In addition, the Gospel message of God's love is conveyed to each child in attendance at our school.  We care about the whole child: mind, body and soul. 

Grow With Us

St. John is offering classes for preschool through sixth grade for the 2012-2013 school year.  We have continued to add at least one grade each year and we are now offering a complete early childhood and elementary school educational experience.    Our rebirthing process necessary due to Hurricane Katrina is complete and we are now even stronger and better than ever.   

The Lutheran School System

The elementary schools of the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod date back to the decade between 1830 and 1840, when a number of Lutheran congregations were organized in Midwestern states and established Christian Day Schools for their children. 

St. John is one of the 2,200 Lutheran elementary schools and preschools in the United States.  We are part of the Southern District of the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod.  There are presently 18 schools in the District offering Christian education in preschool/kindergarten and elementary grades.
