Admission Policy


St. John's Lutheran School has been established and is maintained primarily for the Christian training of the children whose parents are members of the parish. However, in keeping with the Savior's invitation to let the little children come unto Him and forbid them not, St. John's Lutheran School also opens its door to children whose parents are not affiliated with St. John's Lutheran Church and who wish to provide a Christian Education for their children. St. John's is happy to enroll these other children as long as room and facilities are available. It is to be understood that children of non-members are to participate in the total curriculum of the school, including the memorizing of Bible passages, hymns, and the study of Christian doctrine as drawn from the Bible and Lutheran Confessions, and that the doctrines of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod will not be compromised as they are taught to the children.

St. John's Lutheran School will admit only those students that we feel can be taught at our school. We are not equipped or staffed to meet the needs of students with severe learning disabilities or severe emotional problems.

Admission Priority


St. John's Lutheran School exists to serve both member and non-member parents and children in our community who sincerely desire a Christ-centered education. God's directive to all parents is, "Bring up your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." The privilege of the staff at St. John's Lutheran School is to help parents with that God-given responsibility. Applications for enrollment are accepted in the following order, irrespective of race, color, or national origin.


The priority guidelines for grades Kindergarten through 8th grade are as follows:

  1. Children of members of St. John’s Lutheran Church.  Priority ends 2 weeks following priority enrollment opening.
  2. Children enrolled during the previous year.  Priority ends 2 weeks following priority enrollment opening.
  3. Children with brothers and/or sisters are currently enrolled.  Priority ends 2 weeks following priority enrollment opening.
  4. Children from a neighboring LCMS church.  Priority ends 2 weeks following priority enrollment opening.
  5. Other children are admitted at the discretion of the principal and/or Board of Christian Education.
  6. Enrollment at any of these grade levels is limited to 25 pupils unless a special exception to this rule is approved by the Board of Christian Education.
