What's New at St. John's

We have some exciting news to share with our St. John’s Lutheran School & Preschool Stakeholders!

National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) encourages, assists and recognizes Lutheran schools that provide quality Christian education and engage in continuous improvement. NLSA uses a Self-Study and Validation Team Visit to ensure a balanced, performance-based process that examines multiple facets of the organization and the way they work together to produce results. The purpose of an NLSA Self-Study is to evaluate the actual conditions in place that are related to essential indicators of school quality. These ratings allow a school to identify and celebrate unique strengths and address concerns that need corrective action. Upon conclusion of the NLSA Self-Study, an NLSA visiting team validates that the information prepared by the school accurately reflects the actual conditions that are present at the school. In a formal, two-day visit, the team examines evidence, interviews school stakeholders, visits classrooms and observes overall school practices.

Over the past year, the staff at St. John’s have been working diligently to complete the NLSA Self-Study and prepare for the Validation Team Visit.  We are excited to announce that St. John’s Lutheran School has been reaccredited with the Evidence Based Accreditation (EBA) and St. John’s Lutheran Preschool has received accreditation in the Early Childhood Accreditation (EC). Our Validation Team Visit reported 0 Major Deficiencies and 8 Outstanding Strengths. Our strengths are listed below:

•       St. John’s is committed to implementing strategic and long term planning.

•       School personnel model Christ’s love in their relationships with parents and guardians.

•       Positive relationships exist among the entire school community.

•       The CEA and other volunteer groups are active and effective in achieving their goals.

•       The school’s Christ centered ethos is highly visible and evident. 

•       The staff is an effective team and supportive of one another.

•       The administration provides strong leadership and has a great vision for the school.

•       The school is well respected in the Marysville community

Thank you for choosing to be a part of the St. John’s Community. We appreciate your time, talents and treasures in support of St. John’s Lutheran School and Preschool.
